Hi, I want an easy way of discovering a server on a network. For example, I want a server running on say 192.168.0.55. And a client does a broadcast on the workgroup, asking servers to identify themselves. The server then replies with it's IP address and consequently the client can do a socket connect to the server.<br />
<br />
What would be the best protocol to perform such a broadcast?
