Ah... if you can access it via IP but not via Hostname then that sounds
like an issue with NetBIOS and/or Netbeui or you need to create a
Hostnames list.


I don't know what that means :-(

Lets hope ou have static IP addresses.... otherwise the IP addresses
could change when the DHCP leases are renewed. (probably not an issue
for teh router as that generally stays the same IP address.


Or that. I know the IP address of the router, and I'm sure our external
'Zen' IP address is fixed, but beyond that ...

Very reluctant to change anything while it works, to be honest. Even
more Brownie points now, having managed to connect wife's iPad to the
NAS, too.
