[lwip-users] Network name of device

[Sägesser Walter]

I have tried to give my device a name, i.e. I set 'LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME'  to 1 and left the default setting ("lwip") in the initialisation code. At startup DHCP is assigning an IP and I can PING the device with this address (and also the web server works by it). But I can't ping with the host name 'lwip'. What else must be done to convince the device that it should listen to its name, too?

(The final goal is to access the web server by name in order to configure a IP manually if there is no DHCP server around).

 

Many thanks

Walter
