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

[address@hidden]

For netbios, you don't really have to search the list: there is code in 
the contrib module (also available in the download section). You just 
have to define the device's name as NETBIOS_LWIP_NAME and call 
netbios_init() after the stack is initialized. The udp raw api is used 
to answer to request packets asking for the name defined by 
NETBIOS_LWIP_NAME.
