Mac Pro showing on network

Hi, my relative was complaining that there is an unknown Mac Pro showing on their iMac under Network heading? At the time my relative had their Mac Pro connected to their iMac. The Mac Pro has the name of the relative.
I'm not familiar with Mac OS. I have checked the DHCP leases on the router. Their iMac and Mac Pro are connected via wireless.

I have posted before about my relative borrowing my USB flash drive and the anti virus on my computer detecting viruses on the USB after.

The Mac will pick up anything on the same network. Sounds like a non-issue tbh.

Sounds like the unknown Mac Pro is the known Mac Pro of your relative. Mystery solved.

There was two Mac Pros connected to the iMac. One of them is the name of my relative and the other is like Mac Pro xxxx the x are numbers. Why was there two Mac Pros showing on the iMac?

I've seen this before. Isn't one icon for sharing, the other for RDC? Have a look in sharing prefs as well, might be something odd in there.
