Is there a way to have the Friendly Name displayed if any of the selections (MAC, IP or Host) has a name associated with it. So if when scanning I have some machines friendly name associated with MAC but others with IP is will always display the friendly name?? Or even if I have the friendly name associated with 2 or all 3?? Many thanks -WS

Correct, but then you have to go to the menu and select MAC then pick the ones you want, then go back to the menu and pick IP then pick the ones you want (But maybe that is not working like I think it is). Nice to make the selection from the add box with a pull-down. Just a suggestion for ease, not to make some major programming changes (how the list is stored, etc.). I understand if would add too

@Andrew, wow how brain dead I am, I looked at that screen several times and never noticed the pull-down. Embarrassed I missed that. Thanks. Edit: Update, you really notice that pull-down in Windows XP, but in Windows 7 the pull-down arrow is at the end and I guess easily missed, still my fault, but your screen shot was so helpful and easy I was wondering why I missed it. Update: On further
Feature request: selecting IP or MAC address for the Friendly Name Association

Andrew, I use the Friendly Name feature in Network Scanner and noticed that it associates the name with the IP address. Are you able to make that selectable? As in let me pick IP address or MAC address for the Friendly Name Association? On my home network my systems get a DHCP address and many times they will get a different IP so when I scan the Friendly Name is associated with the wrong device.
