How do I set up a Synology NAS so it can be accessed by URL/name instead of by IP address
Lernkurve
Example
On Windows, I open Run with Win+R and enter \\192.168.1.30.
The trouble is, every time the NAS reboots, that IP address may change.
Question
So that's why I'd prefer to access the NAS' data folder by name, for example http://mynas, instead.
What do I need to do to make that work?
Research
- Set up a website on my internal network and access it with a domain name instead of IP -- this explains how to configure the host file, but that won't work because the NAS' IP address changes after reboot
- Google: how to access synology by name instead of ip -- wasn't helpful either because those search results explain how to access the NAS from the Internet
Version
- Hardware: Synology DS212j
- Software: Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) 5.0
Lernkurve
Just enter \\diskstation in the Run dialog.
It works by default because Windows File Service is enabled on the Synology NAS.
