I mean they dropped the parts of ip4 that are not used. They only multiplied the number of bits by 4, otherwise it’s the exact same ideas. The confusing part might be that a device gets multiple addresses off the bat. Using decimal for 128 bits would have made the address even worse.
What is the server are they on?
If they are just on a windows server, then the indexing service is actually good for fast results on a network share. If it’s a windows 10/11 pc, I think you need to enable classic search for it to provide results to clients over the network.
Alternatively I believe everything (the program) supports indexing network locations.
