The name for the Target Host Name eld can be found just
under the Computer Name on the Sharing page in System
Preferences. It is circled in red in the screenshot to the left.
Do not include the part after the rst period. By default,
the Target Host name will be the same as the Computer
Name above it unless you have changed it. To work with
Time Machine, this name should contain only the following
characters: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstu vwxyz-
_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. Spaces and other
characters should not be used if Time Machine is to function
properly.
For the Target MAC address, enter the Mac’s Ethernet MAC
Address from System Proler, located in Applications/Utilities.
Make sure that you are looking at the Ethernet MAC Address
and not the AirPort MAC Address, as they will be different.
