That's probably some netbios or something like that that Microsoft
uses to find it's network shares. I don't think ethernut has such
protocol implemented (unless our simple WINS does that). So, it would
have to be implemented. But notice that it would only work for
windows, not other OSes. The proper way would be a DNS entry.
