**UNC:** Here, enter the UNC pathname for the first CIFS share to which you want to connect. For example, \\192.168.1.34\Logs . (Default: blank). If you use an IP address as part of the UNC pathname, make certain it is a static or DHCP Reservation address, and not a dynamic one. Otherwise, the address may change, and the FreshTomato may fail to connect to the CIFS share. The CIFS protocol can be routed, however, that's a complex topic.
