| I'm trying to create LAN play for a game using the GNet Module. I can make the networking part work without a problem, but in order to connect to a remote computer the user must know the IP address of the remote computer. Is there anyway to get a list of remote IP address on a LAN? |

| Huh? Well if you know the subnet mask, you could use the networks broadcast address to broadcast a "request for server" and have the server respond with appropriate ID. This is only going to work on a LAN tho' as the first bridge/router is going to discard any broadcast datagrams. For games outside a LAN, you'll need a master server which games can announce themselves too. |
