Use NetInfoManager and look in the network database on your machine
for a machines entry with the property 'serves' and the value '..'.
It is looking for your old machine as its server, probably.
For a detailed answer search on 'netinfo server' in NeXTAnswers.
There is a niutil command line that will find all machines that your
machine thinks serve it.
