Direct Play searching for servers

Hi all, I've written a game that is using the generic startnetgame interface. I'd like to replace it with my own only I'm running into an issue in that the generic interface has a search feature that will find games(I'm mostly interested in Lan games at this point) without having to manually enter the IP of server. Is this kind of functionality possible outside the startnetgame interface?

Yeah, you have to code it yourself though. I've never done such a thing for LAN. I've only done it for Internet play using FTP and GNet. If it's for LAN, why not use the default LAN matcher?

Default lan matcher? What's that?
