GoFlex Net & GoFlex Home

[robyb]

Hi Guys,

Many of you have asked for the ability to change the Netbios name, and that of other services on the GoFlex Home. This feature is not yet available through the GoFlex's web interface, so I decided to make you guys a little something.

This tool replaces the Netbios, iTunes and DLNA server names with your GoFlex Home name. This should benefit the people owning more than one GoFlex Home the most.



Please visit http://support.axentra.hipserv.com/updates/subdomain/ and follow the instructions.

The website does NOT have a signed ssl certificate... just ignore that error.

Note that this tool does not resolve all conflicts of having 2 GoFlex Home's on your network.  We recommend making one GoFlex externally accessible and the others "LAN Only".

Enjoy,
Roby!

Do you rename netbios of goflex home success? I am still not success yet.

If you are success to rename, please tell me the steps you go through?

Is your GoFlex Home set to LAN ONLY mode right now?  That would prevent it from getting updates...

Cheers,

Roby!

Thanks, I changed my second GoFlex Home to "remote access" and now its netbios changed to my GoFlex Home name.

I can see two my GoFlex Home on my LAN now.

Having two GoFlex Home on the network? Hmmm, I though cnaging the netbois name would mane two different devises on the network? Or am I incorrect.

I figure I could change one to GoFlex_1 and the other GoFlex_2

Well, I remaned my two 3TB drives, and all works well. NOw I can go out and purchase a third unit.

One can never have enough space.

I see the NETBIOS name was pre-conceived, "GoFLex HOme" with user ID, oh well, At least I have two drive running on the network.

Yes, remember to not have the two drive fighting over your router for ports... Only one.

Glad to hear it's working out for you guys.

Cheers,

Roby!
