Øyvind, your problem is *exactly* the same problem I have at my work, where our 
broken DNS system requires me to connect a monitor to any Linux box I bring up 
(normally I run them w/o a monitor), so that I can figure out its DHCP-given IP 
address.

The best solution for me is for the company to fix DNS, such that the computer 
(or, in your case, an eCos device) can be given a hostname that the entire 
network can access.

I know this doesn't help much, but I figured I'd point out this is a common 
problem in DNS-less networks.

Good luck,
