Change Terminal Name

[mr.sly]

Hi, how can I change my name in Terminal? At the moment it's showing as 'unknown-00-19-e3-02-d3-27'. Google told me to change the name in Sharing, but I've tried this and it doesn't seem to affect it.

Any ideas?

The bit before...

But that isn't my computers name and I'm sure it didn't look like that the last time I used it.

In Terminal type: "sudo hostname <the new name you want>" (with out the quotation obviously), then restart Terminal.

Thanks worked perfectly.
