Computer name keeps changing OSX 10.10 (14A389) Since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 (14A389) my computer name keeps changing adding a (2) and (3) and so forth.

Any ideas how to fix this?
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration
and delete the following files:


com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist


Then reboot the Mac.

The host names should be recreated correctly.
