RE: [lwip-users] netif hostname not active

You need to have some SMB code.

An example was posted already, check through the archives.

Hello,

Good day.

I have an issue using the hostname to resolve netif.

When i tried to initialize a hostname for the interface, i did it like this in the ethernet interface init function:

#if LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME
  /* Initialize interface hostname */
  netif->hostname = "lwip";
#endif /* LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME */

From the lwip/opt.h I enabled LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME.

After having a call back funcion for the ethernet interface init, i printed out the status and i got the actual hostname "lwip". Then after initializing everything, I tried to ping the network resource using the hostname "lwip", but it was not successful. What do I need to do for the hostname to be activated? Please advise.

Thanks,
Emmanuel
