Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/network scan?

I need to scan differerent networks for live ip addresses, how could i do this quickly in blitz3d ? I'd like to avoid tcp if at all possible. Can i do icmp ?

So for example, if i have:
192.168.0.0/16
and
172.16.0.1/24
i need to scan those and put the results (ip address) in a variable

can i do this in blitz3d ?
Thanks,

"diffrent networks" is rather vague. if it's a lan, you may use any handshake protocol. Using ping is probably too much trouble. Depending on Firewall setup, common portscans may not work. I noticed that port 445 is always listening, even in stealth modes, tho that's windows only. I am really not an expert, but I guess there must be some api functions to get lan neigbourhood information. Basicly, Blitz has only tcp and udp, but udp has no such knocking abilities. Use forum search, it may have been discussed/done already.
