Add netBIOS name

Open spyflox opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

It's quite boring to find the IP address automatically assigned via DHCP by my router. I have several devices connected to my network and I have to remember which IP corresponds to which equipment. I am looking for a simple way to connect to the ESP once the wifi connection is established and it would be easier to insert a known hostname in my browser for each device (rather than an IP address).

Currently the framework assigns a custom hostname, but I can't use it in my browser to connect to the webapp... Did I miss something?

I understand that to do this, the device needs to generate a netBIOS name on the network. Is it possible to set it when the ESP is connected to the network?
