I looked under the local network mode settings on the router. It gives this:
Name of Freebox Server: Freebox Server DNS name: freebox-server mDNS name: Freebox-Server Netbios name: Freebox_Server
Interesting. Does ping freebox-server work? If so, you could try to type smb://freebox-server in Dolphin. That could work because routers often run their own DNS and offer a local domain for all DHCP clients. If so, there would be a line starting with "search" in /etc/resolv.conf.
No. I still get ping: unknown host freebox-server and Dolphin doesn't connect.
In resolv.conf I see:
# Generated by NetworkManager search free.fr my.domain.name nameserver 212.27.40.240 nameserver 212.27.40.241
You would need to have there 192.168.1.254, which I think is your router box. Of course, then your router needs to be able to resolve outside names, but I think it will be able to do so.
Even with the firewall stopped, VLC won't accept the FTP filedrop. I tried clicking the network links on the left pane in the player. The one for uPnP got the drive light flashing for a long while but I was only seeing errors in VLC Messages.
Yes, that hostname is what was advised to use when I set FTP to enabled on the router. And I can browse using it in Dolphin. So I just pinged it:
Try using either active or passive modes. One might work.

Maybe I'm being over paranoid, but I don't know what the IP address relates to exactly, it's not my actual IP address, but I've hidden it here to avoid any malfeasance.
That can not be, it must be a local IP. However, your Free router is capable of being reachable from outside as well, in some manner which /I/ can't describe. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
