Worth noting that this solution is not reliable in general
either because your server can possibly have complicated routing
configurations that will make, for example, LAN destination
packets go via different network interface than WAN destination
ones.
It is probably better to tell what high-level problem you are
trying to solve to find most useful compromise.
I'm setting up a simple local network enabling me to connect
phones to the computer through the local wi-fi. The simplest way
i could think of to make this work without relying on an external
server was to simply broadcast the ip and port to all machines in
the network.(Btw by server i mean my / my project groups windows
boxes).
So well the problem is that i need a way for the phones to find
running servers on the LAN.
