If you want a more general solution than netbios naming you need to update your DNS server with the IP address and name that have been given to your board. DHCP doesn't do this - it is just responsible for giving the IP address to the board, not for updating the DNS server. Are you giving out static IP addresses? If so, you can just put a static entry in the DNS. If you're using dynamic IP assignment you will need to run some sort of agent on the board that will publish its IP address and the name it wants to the DNS server. I don't know of anything that has been ported directly to lwIP to do this but there are lots of third-party tools for operating systems like Linux that you might be able to use.
