Many thanks! Bonjour Browser isn't ideal, but at least it works! I'll try sources in a nearest future.

Don't get me wrong. I'm experienced user. Work with computers since DOS and even some earlier systems. Not administrator, but as programmer I know many things about hardware and software. But I'm new to Linux. I know, how to do things, but purely theoretically. Usually Windows -> Linux things go easily, as there are always ports of Linux programs on Windows, that help to seamlessly connect this two. But just not in this case.
Is it healthy for project not to have regular stable releases?
Just for fun: Code::Blocks, GCC 13 and DOS - is it possible?

I have Linux computers in my network and sometimes I need to remotely connect to one in order to configure it. Problem is - my network has dynamic IPs, so I don't know, what computer is what. Only way to identify them - their network names.
If you have admin access to your router, then you can attach fixed IP address to any MAC address on your network. That way computers from the list would always get the same IP address and your problem is solved.
