Yes, you must implement netbios name resolving.
Do a search in this list, some people have posted code snippets how to do this.

Onderwerp: [lwip-users] Setting my hostname on a LAN controlled by Windows2003 Server

Hi,

I'm building an embedded web server 
using LWIP. It uses DHCP to get an IP address, and I have enabled hostnames so 
the name is sent back in the DHCP REQUEST packet.

This platform is an 
example kit for customers so I want them to be able to plug it into their LAN 
and then navigate to the server using its hostname in a web browser.

This 
doesn't seem to work on our network which uses Windows 2003 Server. I suspect 
that the list of hostnames is secured by the windows domain server, so it won't 
dynamically assign the hostname for my server when I plug it in.

Is there 
any way around this?

Regards,
Joe.
