Change USB drive network name?

Hey guys,
this is probably a simple question. I've attached a 3TB WD My Book Essentials to the RT-N66U and enabled file sharing. All works fine, just a minor nag. The drive (network name?) itself comes up as UNKNOWN in Windows Network so it's \\UNKNOWN to access it.

How can I change this to something more meaningful?

I've installed Tomato (Shibby):
Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-088V K26 USB AIO
