<br></div><div><div dir="ltr">Thanks for the information, Doug. 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>
