I'll be working on this again today to try and make some sense of it all. One other question to help me keep track of the BBB as I chase it around my network: Other connected devices show up on my router with an appropriate device name (Epson Printer, John's MacBook, etc) - the BBB does not. I have to check the MAC address. Where/how is the BBB device name configured? <div>
