[lwip-users]Hostname for DHCP - where is it specified?

[Bob Brusa]

Hi
I am playing around with the example http_2 that comes with ecos. My Zyxel  
router recognizes my board and assigns it an IP-address. And yes - the  
program responds when entering this IP-address on a browser running on any  
of the PCs connected to my LAN. Similarely - a ping to this address works  
fine. The problem: The Zyxel router can not find the name of the board and  
hence, addressing my board by name does not work.

In the archive I found mails on this subject, but did not really  
understand them. It seems the name resolution code is already included in  
lwip. It uses netbios and is hence UDP based. So one has to enable  
UDP-protocol. Furthermore I found a remark, that this  
"netbios-handling"-thread must be initialized (in the http_2 app running  
in my board). All this triggers two questions:
a) where can I define the hostname of my board?
b) How and when do I start this netbios name resolution protocol?
Thanks for help and best regards
