Constant host name changes on local network

Any idea why every few days the hots names for all my Mac change with this error message

This computer’s local hostname “Mac-Studio-4.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “Mac-Studio-5.local”.

And no the host name is not used by another mcachine. This drives me nuts

MacBook Local Hostname I have an Apple M1 MacBook Pro running Ventura. A few days ago I did a factory reset of my Macbook and reinstalled macOS due to an issue with my computer lagging. Yesterday I logged into Eduroam WiFi, and today when I opened up my laptop from sleep mode (I was on the same Eduroam network), I received a random popup that said the following: This computer's local hostname "----Macbook-pro.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "------Macbook-Pro-2.local" To change the local hostname, open system preferences and click sharing, then click "edit" and type the name in the local hostname field. Please advise if the factory reset caused this issue since I am using the same network that I used before the reset. Interestingly, this popup did not appear when I used my home wifi. I also read somewhere that there could be some unauthorized access into my computer, but I spoke with an Apple advisor who dismissed that issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hostname changes on iMac 21" 2019 by itself Dear Community, dear Apple Support, on a iMac 21" 2019 with Ventura 13.3.1 I reconized these days, that the original hostname changes sometimes (from day to day or sometimes multiple times a day) with an added number -1, -2 and so on. Has anyone seen this behaviour too and does anyone know how to fix this to get an stable hostname as known in the good old times? Thx in advance Hathor27

DNS lookup fails occasionally on a Mac mini and a MacBook Air I have a home network with a number of computers connected, including a MacMini 2 and a new MacBook Air. There is a Unify USG router/firewall and this runs as the DNS server for the network. The USG is configured to resolve names for internal devices and forward queries for external computers to OpenDNS. The LAN's DHCP settings specify that the primary DNS server is the USG and OpenDNS is the secondary in case internal resolution fails. Both Macs experience the following problem, but no other machines - implying this is a MacOS-specific problem and not a network problem. This is important as the symptoms could otherwise imply a failure of the USG's DNS server. Occasionally, no apparent frequency, DNS name resolution fails for internal hosts. External hosts resolve OK. Opening a terminal reveals that dig host.local works. It comes back with the correct IP address. However ping host.local fails because the name doesn't resolve. Ping'ing the IP address works of course. Rebooting resolves the problem, as does switching to a different network location: even if it has the same settings. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
