I'm new to Arduino and I'm missing some basic stuff.
How can i see my Arduino in my Windows network with a network name?
I can see state's of pins in Firefox via the Arduino IP, but can't see the Arduino in the Windows network.
I also can write stuff to txt or csv files on my SDcard but can't find a tutorial on how to fetch the file to a PC.
I want to build some loggers that log the data to SDcard and than fetch that file from a PC with some software like Allway Sync.
The idea is to have all the Arduino loggers running without the need for a 24/7 PC running.

I think the first thing you'd have to do would be to install Windows on the Arduino. Good luck with that.

What kind of shield are you using? Ethernet or WiFi?

There are examples with the SD library for reading the data from the SD card. Getting the data to the PC then depends on how you want to get it there - ethernet, wifi, or serial.

Good luck with that. Most syncing software expects the two devices to be running the same OS and be on the same local area network. You could write some custom software quite easily.

Why? I can see my Phone, my Router's, the TV's, Xbox's, Linux PC's in the Windows network without having Windows on them...
What kind of shield are you using?
The official Arduino Ethernet shield (cable).

Hm, my Arduino and all the other devices are on my local area network. And i can copy and move files between them all. And with Allway Sync
you can do it from Russia to China over FTP. I mean is there nothing like SAMBA or FTP for Arduino? Can't believe that i need a
PC running 24/7 to log everything via serial.
Nothing out there to just copy a file from the Arduino SDcard to a PC?
Sorry, i don't know if it's my english, but your answers sounds a little harsh to me - an Arduino newbie who is looking for help and to get started.

I thought you were referring to the Windows Homegroup.

All those other devices you listed have operating systems. The Arduino does not. There is nothing that makes the Arduino appear as a file system, either, because it isn't one.

It wasn't meant to be. It was meant as a nudge in the direction of aligning your expectations with reality. The Arduino is akin to your washing machine or home alarm system. There are shields that extend it's capabilities, but they do not add an operating system or make the Arduino have a file system that can be shared.
You can write software to make it respond to specific requests, but I don't think that you will make it play well with syncing software, as that software expects the device to have a file system.
Can you really use that software to sync your PC and your television?
I don't think I can offer much help regarding moving the files from the SD card to your PC, but hopefully can at least point you in the right direction on the network name:
I am looking to do something similar with a project I'm working on right now and don't have a concrete answer yet, but you need to install something that does dynamic / multicast DNS advertisements.
So far it looks like the Bonjour library for Arduino is the best candidate:
