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.
Well, DHCP does support for the client to report a name to the server,
but the server must be specially configured to pass this on to a DNS
server. It could very well be that your router supports this, but as
Kieran said, this is not really a part of DHCP.
However, to test this, you can enable passing on a name by setting
LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME to 1 and setting the name via netif_set_hostname().

After working on some other things, I come back to this issue.
I feel that something is not as it should be with my lwip. I can find
nowhere in the h-files a function netif_set_hostname. I find the parameter
LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME, but it is undefined. On the other hand, there is a
parameter CYGIMP_LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME in net_lwip.h (and I defined it in
config as 1). However, as far as I can see, this parameter is used
nowhere. I am tempted to assume, that there is a naming problem - two
names for something that should be uniquely named?
I am working with ecos, but I am not sure which version of lwip it
includes. The last checkout (ecos)I did was sometimes this spring.....
Prior to delving into further details: What is your opinion about this?
