On my MacBook, in the Finder's sidebar there's a machine appearing under "Shared" that I don't recognize and definitely doesn't exist on our local network. When I attempt to connect to it, I get this message:
The server "otseeley-remote" is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.
What is this and how do I get rid of it? I already checked Disk Utility and there are no extraneous volumes mounted or anything.
EDIT:
Additional information based on the questions below:
- There are only two computers on the network, both running Mac OS X - this MacBook, and my PowerBook. The PowerBook shows up in the source list as a separate item from "otseeley-remote"
- There is no Time Capsule on the network, though I do have a Time Machine drive plugged into the PowerBook (not shared, though)
- No VPN
- One wired printer, connected to the MacBook
- Two other wifi networks other than my own appear in the wifi dropdown, so I suppose it's possible that the mystery machine is on a neighbor's network (though why would it show up in my source list?)
EDIT 2:
The mystery computer shows up on both my MacBook's and PowerBook's source list, but not always at the same time. Sometimes it appears on one and not the other; other times, it appears on both.
EDIT 3:
I have two user accounts on the MacBook and both accounts show the "otseeley-remote" item in the Finder. Not sure if that means anything, but just wanted to add another data point.
