Strange computer name - amazon aws?

Hi,
in the overview tab my PC shows as
ec2-52-53-66-57.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com (52.53.66.57) for some strange reason.

It didn't before. Tried changing windows pc name but no change. Nslookup give me the windows name.

Thanks!

Does your PC actually have the IP 52.53.66.57?

No.. It looks like this:

and it should say... apple-laptop . :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: restarted router and now it displays correct name..

But, again, does the device have the IP address 52.53.66.57? Is 52.53.66.x your local network IP range? Because ... it really shouldn't be, that's not a private range you can and should just use.

Again, no. :slight_smile:
I don't know why my PC was resolved this way by the router...
