NAS Name
Can I change the name I assigned to the NAS (RN102 firmware 6.1.8) without upsetting any local or remote access settings?
I decided I don't like the name I assigned, but I don't want to cause any access issues.
I have not made an entry in my computers' hosts file, so there is no name association used yet on the LAN.

- It will impact ReadyCloud/ReadyRemote, but not the local configuration.
Generally you don't need to add it to the computer hosts file, you should be able to resolve the existing name without doing that (linux, windows, and osx). - Thanks - glad I asked.
I will leave the name until I resolve the access issues I am having currently. No sense introducing a new problem.
