Yes it does.
The hostname is the first bit of a DNS entry.

Thanks, but unfortunately that doesn't work.
In SBS and in mysqueezebox.com both player have different names, still
they both register in DNS
I have no idea for the SB3, but I would think that for the Radio you
would change the hostname in /etc/hostname. Have you tried that?

It's a simple text file, currently with the word 'squeezebox' in it.

Blaming it for what? Change it in the correct place (/etc/hostname) and
then blame it if that doesn't work.

Yup, that works, so now I wonder why changing it in the website of SBS
doesn't do the same, as it works for the SB3.
Thnx.

Completely different software running on the newer Squeezeboxes. A lot
of things either work differently, don't work at all, or were left
undone.

Without _any_ result? Are you saying that if you change the name on the

Naming them within SBS is so the user can identify which device is

graphical controllers. But this meaningful name can also include spaces
and other characters which wouldn't be allowed in a hostname.

That's not a problem at all. You can have more than one name mapped to
a given IP address in DNS. It's common practice.
