Hello, I've got machines on a network that are running a program (called PHost). I've got a client application (called ICS) that can connect to machines running PHost to retrieve data. I would like to setup a system (perhaps similar to PC Anywhere) in which ICS can send out a broadcast over a network looking for machines running PHost and they would respond so ICS wouldn't have to know the IP address of machines running PHost up front.
There is undoubtedly lots of info on doing such things on the Internet - I am apparently not choosing my search terms very well. What is such a system called so I can get better search results and possible code examples, please? Sincerely, Peter
