Well, it might be that the issue lies with Apple’s “Back to my Mac” service.
Please carefully examine the following file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist, in particular, look at the dictionary for key BackToMyMac:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | |
There should be one numeric key with your user id (502 in the above example) and a string with the fully-qualified hostname <yourname>.members.mac.com`.
If this is not the case, sign out of Mobile Me, remove the BackToMyMac key and its dictionary and sign in again.
