Hi,

I have 2 network boards the ChipKIT WF32 and the WiFire. My problem is when I connect to my local network with these as servers, they do not have a name, they show up as unknown-device on the DHCP server. I need to go to my router and check the IP address and guess witch is witch. I want to be able to access these board from any device phone whatever on the local network by name. Is there a way to do this. I am using the server demo deWebIOServer, that I modified to my needs.

(For remote apps I am playing with the ChipKIT uC32 and YUN Shield.)

My guess is that the easiest way will be to allocate static IP addresses to the devices on your router. Each of the boards should be programmed with a unjque mac address, and the DHCP server can use that to always allocate the IP you choose.
