One was just the hostname, and the other was the FQDN i.e. hostname.home.gateway. I added two entries to the static DNS table (Advanced -> DNS -> Static DNS), and now MediaVault is resolved correctly.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Nevans>nslookup MediaVault
Server:  Billion_Router.home.gateway
Address:  192.168.1.254

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    MediaVault.home.gateway
Address:  192.168.1.30
and this is what I configured on the router:

That's great news and thanks for the update :D
