So, implement your own NETBIOS stack is your only solution (if you don't want
to have to configure your "ping" hosts). But I'm not sure NETBIOS is supported
on all platform (for name resolutions). It's sure for Windows ones, Linux use
it for Samba, but I don't know if tools like ping do it.
"NETBIOS name service" is not very difficult to implement, but it will only
work on a LAN (and a VPN if you use some "master explorers" on), but not on a
WAN. Take a look to http://ubiqx.org/cifs/NetBIOS.html, it provide most of
details.

Of course not.

I already use DHCP with a device name. I can see the device name in DHCP
server table (WIN NT 4.0 server). But I can't ping on this name. In some
situations, I don't have a DHCP server.
