Can someone let me know why one of my locally network-connected computers is appearing in this list twice? As can be seen in the screenshot, the name of the computer that's appearing twice is "G5 Desktop" - it's appearing in the Finder sidebar as "G5 Desktop" (as it should be), but for some reason it's also appearing in the sidebar listed as "micahdiamond-g5-desktop.local" (micahdiamond being my first and last name)??

Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've tried tweaking my network and sharing preferences, but nothing seems to be resolving the issue?

Any ideas?

No idea.

Just drag it off.

Might it have something to do with Apple Remote Desktop 3.0 (which I have installed on the machine that is showing me this entry)?

The local network name is the name used by Bonjour-compatible devices and services to advertise their availability on the local network. Your computer’s local network name is your computer’s name, appended with “.local.” Why it's showing up in your sidebar, I have no idea.
