I thought of the JBOD idea, but RAID Admin won’t let me use JBOD on any controller that already has an established RAID array.

I would have suspected DNS, but no other Mac on our network exhibits this behavior.

Here’s a new twist…burnslaptop is out of the buiding right now. If I kick the machine back to DHCP, it now says “MarcyXP:~ steve$”

The weird thing is that the marcyxp machine isn’t even on. Marcy left our company two weeks ago. Her computer is still in the Windows 2003 Server computer list, but the machine isn’t on.

Is there a preference that I can blow away or a command through terminal that will make this mac forget everything about the system preference?

I have this machine all loaded and configured and would rather not blow it away just for this.

On the off chance it might help, I used network utility and pulled the routing tables for you. Here is the result:
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 10.1.1.200 UGSc 3 3 en0
10.1.1/24 link#4 UCS 3 0 en0
cpcwin2k.cpcprints 0:b:db:ad:e7:5e UHLW 0 33 en0 1194
marcy_xp.cpcprints localhost UHS 0 7 lo0
10.1.1.41 0:60:94:dc:d5:b2 UHLW 0 65 en0 1026
10.1.1.200 link#4 UHLW 3 0 en0
127 localhost UCS 0 0 lo0
localhost localhost UH 71 7295 lo0
169.254 link#4 UCS 0 0 en0

After sitting thorugh some of your sessions at 2 different Macworlds, I am convinced Joel=genius so I am confidentthis will get solved I really appreciate the help.

I do have 1.3.1 and the problem is not with Raid Admin. The problem lies within Disk Utility.

UPDATE: After waiting on hold with Apple for 45 minutes, I was informed that this is a known issue and should be addressed in a future firmware update. Supposedly, this is just a “cosmetic” glitch and there is no risk to data.

I am glad I have redundant backup in case this turns out to not be cosmetic.
