Snow Leopard local sites and NETBios name

I haven't found a post on this so I'll give a heads-up in case others are still scratching their heads.

I've been running PD 4.x on Mac OS 10.5.x [performing well] using it primarily to view local sites in Windows XP bowsers. My localhost setup is via MAMP. Apache Port 80, MySQL Port 3306, etc..

A week ago I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Today I find that I couldn't see the site on localhost [http://robs.local/sitename/].

After a lot of forum checking and finding nothing, I checked my Mac Network settings. Turns out that the Snow Leopard upgrade changed my NETbios name to ROBS-3.

Hope this is helpful.
