How can i connect the launchpad via ethernet with a hostname like http://MyLaunchpad.html instead an ip using lwip or uip
Best regards to all
From where?
On a windows PC (or a linux desktop) there is a HOSTS file -- which I use.
something like....
192.168.0.11 hrsvr # Hot Rocks server
or from the example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
I should also mention that you can run DNS software if you have a unit on which you can run the software.
That is a bit more complicated -- so I recommend using the HOST file on a PC that will be connecting to the launchpad unless you have a good reason to run a a DNS server -- on a Linux server is easiest to run the DNS daemon.
Hy Dave Thank You for Your Quick respond
for my Application I need to connect the processor with a hostname because the IP will be unknown in most cases (DHCP) for example my Network Printer can be accessed with typing its name in Browsers navigation Bar how can i do this with connected launchpad ???

Then you will need a DNS server (preferred) or a network with "permanently" fixed addresses -- take your pick.
Since you want to use DHCP and descriptive names -- that means that you will have to set up a DNS server -- or register each piece of hardware with the ICANN registry -- or whatever-- don't see a way out of that.
If this is an internal network -- or a client network that you control -- set up a DNS server then point each device to your DNS and DHCP server -- then let the server do the work.
Without knowing your actual desired net configuration it's hard to give more advice.
It is also worth mentioning that the Video and course-ware refers to Exosite -- which provides the Gateway, DNS and DHCP service.

If you have not looked at the Launchpad course-ware I can recommend it to explain these issues.
