[En-Nut-Discussion] Register hostname for Ethernut

[Daniel]

But this is not a problem of Ethernut, it is part of the network setup.
It is the task of your customer to configure his own network.
An ethernut device is just a node in the network.
In the same thing as a phone device is not responsible for making a public
phonebok entry.

You might think about cheap DSL routers, which often provide such a
functionality, but this is only possible because they usually provide the
basic network structure including DNS services.

But when I configure a normal PC (running Windows or Linux) with a hostname,
then I access it in the network via ist hostname. Shouldn't this be working
with a Ethernut board also?
On my Router with DHCP Server, the Ethernut board's entry has already the
hostname "ethernut". But I cannot access it by this name. 

Regards
Daniel
