What's the difference between a Host and a Device?
Host refers to a unique IP address.
Device refers to a MAC address.
Observe the top right-hand corner of your NG Firewall:
The Hosts viewer (1) shows current hosts (which may include inactive devices if they have been tagged).
The Devices viewer (2) shows a historical list of devices and will include every device the NG Firewall has ever seen.

I'd like to edit all my host names in the device list, but i know them by IP, can i change the view so that IP can be listed in the "devices" table?
Tom,
Unfortunately not. The devices are MAC addresses. The IP is dynamic and cannot be listed in that table as it is a permanent table.
You can look them up in the host table by the IP, get the MAC, and then look for that in the devices table.
