How host name is broadcasted in a subnet
- by apalopohapa
Hello. I'm working with Microchip's TCP/IP stack and the host name of my device is not being broadcasted, although I can access it using its DHCP assigned IP.
So the question is, what is the protocol that a network device uses to broadcast its host name, so that when I see a list of devices in a network I can identify it by name?
Is it the NetBIOS name service or something else? Thanks in advance.
