Hi guys, I don't know where to put this question, because is related to two different behaviors expreiments in two different configurations.
I try to explain it:

1) At my home I have a WP2, accessing my LAN devices : 1 NAS ( where are stored media files) and a Window 10 PC (where are stored addons, ROM images, and other stuff..)
When I added network location, I was able to browse all the devices from "Windows SMB network" node, without the need to explicitly set the IP address in the "Server Name" field. So I can really see the PC Name, the NAS Name etc.. as defined in my LAN.

2) At home of my best friend, who bought my Core, instead we're not able to add network location using "Windows SMB Network", but we have to set the Server Name inserting the IP adress (it forces consequently to set static IP address for them, reserving also those IP on the router configuration). Also my friend has a couple of Windows PC (one with W7, one with W10) and a NAS identical to mine one. No way to access to share folders on those PC or on the NAS using their network names....

Obviously the second method works, but I'd like to understand why the two system have a so different behaviors? I'm thinking that probaly there are some missing services running on my friend's PC... maybe the "mixed" Windows versions? Maybe the hell of "Group Home" in addition to "Workgroup"?....It's really a mess....any ideas?

thanks!
