Home network ... W8-64, W7-64, W7-32 machines involved. Visitor to house brought his MAC and we added him to the network to do some file sharing. He is gone ... yet, MAC remains on network. Cannot figure out how to get it off network. MAC shows up in Windows Explorer on all three of my machines. See picture at link. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you in advance,

Ah, the windows networking ghost. lol.

I would try shutting down all the PC's at the same time, disconnect the router, etc. Stop all network activity and access for a few mins so hopefully it can purged. It's bounching around right as a ghost.
