X Xyzzy Member Mar 24, 2019 #3 I meant the part that would replace 192.168.0.15 in your example. I access other devices by name in my LAN - \\nas, \\piplayer etc.

X Xyzzy Member Mar 25, 2019 #7 Not sure what you want to say by that, but CIFS/SMB machines have names assigned by themselves. In Samba it's "netbios name" set in smb.conf, in Windows it's what you can display with hostname command. Last edited: Mar 26, 2019
