I'd suggest that for a shared resource you want to be able know where to find on your network, this is the wrong approach.
You might want to consider being a little more proactive about planning out blocks of private IP space on your LAN. Allocate a chunk of IP numbers either well after the highest on-the-fly DHCP address you expect to have allocated, or before the start of the DHCP addresses. Configure your router's DHCP server so it knows not to use addresses from this reserved space. Manually give the NAS a fixed IP address in your fixed-IP block. Voila -- the NAS never hides from you. -- jbm0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbm0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25727 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
