Hi,
I have been ignoring this problem on my network for a while.
I followed your lead to use Access Control to (try to) change the device name.
Long story short,I removed any spaces from my new device name and replaced with "_", and it instantly worked, at least for the one that I was trying to fix.
There may also be length limitations... I'm not brave enough to try.
Thanks for the hint!!
Good Luck
Paul
PS: Now if I could get Readyshare to keep running, I'd be a happy camper. I know it is kaput when I can't even ping 192.168.0.5 (it is working today).

If you want help with ReadySHARE, start a new conversation in the section given over to whatever device you are using.
It would be interesting to now why you think you can get anywhere pinging that IP address.
Thanks for the suggestion:-)
There is a correlation between being able to ping that address and it working, that's all I was musing about.
