It is possible to do this without a dedicated DNS server or DHCP

"zero configuration networking" (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking as a
starting point).
We have a limited implementation of zeroconf called "AutoIP" which
generates MS-like IP addresses if no static IP is configured and no DHCP
server is found (see LWIP_AUTOIP option).
The name resolution can then be done with netbios (see
contrib/apps/netbios) but not via DNS as that would either require the
above DHCP-/DNS-server cooperation or manually configuring the DNS
server. However, using netbios limits you to the windows world.
