[lwip-users] DHCP + LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME =1 for IP retrieving

[Simon St-Pierre]

Hello,

Using DHCP and LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME =1, I am able to see the name of my device in my router. (See attached snapshots) This is great but not of any use if I do not have access to the router of the company where my product will be installed.

 

I would like to be able to retrieve the IP address of my lwIP device from a computer on the same LAN network without the need of using any software, i.e. using a simple windows command line.

 

I don't care if it is one of those:

- ping myLWIPdevice

- nbtstat -c

or any other command.

Note: nslookup myLWIPdevice  command would NOT be really useful since not all companies have a DNS server on the network.

 

I read previous [lwip-user] threads on the subject but nothing answers clearly how to do it.

Can anyone guide my how to proceed to realize this; at least give me some guideline of what to implement on my device.

 

Thank you all,

 

Simon
