Hi,
Been playing with networking a laptop and a music server to my desktop PC using an ASUS RT- AC66 router. Looking at ‘network places” on my desktop PC I see names of the PC, the laptop and the server as they are assigned in the laptop and desktop ( in this case AlandeskPC, Sonylaptop and Azuroff). I understand these are the NETBIOS names?
If I change the assigned names via settings for the 3 items the names in network places change accordingly.
However when I look at the client list for my ASUS router they are identified as AlandeskPC, Sony and Azur and they don’t change if I change if I change the individual names.
Just curious as to where the router gets their names from?
Thanks
