add a line in the /etc/hosts file of the machine running the browser.

Like so :

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.1.100	Myboard


The long answer is to make a decent network setup with DNS and DHCP server
properly configured.

> This is a nice way, but I want to realize a Ethernut-based solution. I
want to give away several Ethernuts to costumers and I have no access to
their computers and servers. When they use the board in their networks, they
don't want to search the ip of the board in server-logs. They just want to
type the name of the board into the browser.
