Sorry is this has been addressed before, doing a search of the forum I seen similar topics but nothing quite black and white or if it was explained I did not understand. That said I apologize if it has been asked.
I have a series of nodes set up for testing indoors and currently learning how to use the Areden system. Of my 3 local nodes one has a raspberry pi running a standard web server. Everything works great! all nodes see one another I can connect to any node from another node, as well as connect and interact with my server/service from any node.
My question is this: Is there a way to assign a name to my service so a user can just type it into the browser url field to connect rather than having to know the ip address and typing 10.xxx.xxx.xxx/site or clicking on the link from the Aredn interface? It would be so much easier if I told someone (callsign example:) "open your browser and go to http://N3WTT" or "enter N3WTT in your browser or something similar to find my connected service. So does Aredn have a DNS or something similar for resolving redirects maybe?
Thanks in advance!

Check out the documentation on this topic...

in short, add a DHCP reservation for the device, then, create a Service advertisement.

you can change the name on the pi itself and it should register correctly when you follow the above instructions for setting the reservation
