[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1146174, member: 24098"] The idea behind setting up a DNS host name is so that you can access your NAS by a friendly name, rather than having to always type in the IP whenever you want to connect to it. For example, my NAS is called "DNS-323". So, in my HOSTS file, it reads: 192.168.0.100 DNS-323 So, anytime I ping "DNS-323", it resolves automatically to 192.168.0.100 Also, when I want to connect to it, I just go to the Finder menu and click Go => Connect to Server and type "smb://DNS-323/volume_1" [/QUOTE]
