Do you give your computers and/or devices unique names? Or do you leave them with their default names? Many computers and devices allow you to set a name for themselves.

Naming a computer/device actually makes your life easier when it comes to identifying stuff in a network. Have you taken advantage of this personalisation/networking combo?

I usually name my computers with my name and which device they are.. it's an easier way for me to remember which computer I need to remotely access for the very specific reason you mentioned: networking.

It's also better for me to have my devices custom-named so that I could get into them on the network remotely if I don't know its local IP address.
