Registering with DNS

1,002 Views

My Nios II dev board successfully gets its IP address my from DHCP server, but the hostname associated with the board does not get registered with my DNS server. Before starting the DHCP transaction I call the function dhcp_set_hostname() to give my board a name. I can see that name in the packets recorded by Ethereal during the DHCP process and it also shows up in the DHCP server's list of leased IP addresses.

If I try to ping my board using the assigned hostname then the DNS lookup on my PC fails to find the board's IP address.

Is there an option I can set in ecos to make it register it's newly assigned IP address with the DNS server, or is this a function of the DHCP server itself?

Thanks,

Mike
