Question

Two changes in a row: new NAS and new ISP. How to move pointers from [192.168.1.x] to [my_nas_name]

Yes, I know it is my mistake. The PE version is the last one: 2025.
To be more specific: the correct pointer for my photos should be: \\MY_NAS_NAME\my_folder\
while I have: \\192.168.1.x\my_folder

After moving to a new ISP my subnet is no more 1. Is there a way to replace all the instancies of \\192.168.1.x\ to the correct position without losing all my tags\metadata?

Thanks for any suggestion

Have you tried changing the IP address range and subnet on your new router to be the same as your old router?

Yes, but it's a mess and actually it seems not possible.

I have never used a NAS for storing catalog media, so I would like to see how the path is displayed.  I assume that the files are now showing as missing. 

Can you show us a screenshot of the Location displayed in the Information panel on a sample selected file, and also a screenshot of how the path is displayed in the My Folders panel.

It's not missed, unfortunately it's offline.
