i am requesting that instead of the ip (streaming server for) that the ability to just have the name of the computer on the network.

add it to your nameserver then.

that's already working

you need a nat router, which add's computer names's to their ip's.

are you saying that daap://computername/ entry in my music should work?

[Kaspers]

i don't use daap, but when i use smb://computername/ it works fine .

[spiff]

when you do

smb://computername

the wins server translates computername to the ip address.

if you want it to work for daap you need the dns server to translate the ip address.

two different beasts, although both nameservers...
