Success !!! here's what I did


Code:
--------------------
    
  int UDPPort = 3483;
  UdpClient listener = new UdpClient(UDPPort);
  IPEndPoint ReceiveIP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, UDPPort);
  
  // Notice I escape the 0 terminator.
  
  Char[] request = {
  'e',
                                'I', 'P', 'A', 'D', '\0', 
                                'N', 'A', 'M', 'E', '\0', 
                                'J', 'S', 'O', 'N', '\0',
  };
  
  Byte[] RequestData = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(request);
  
  listener.Receive(ref ReceiveIP); // This populates ReceiveIP with the ip 
address of the server that responded.
  
  int BytesSent = listener.Send(RequestData, RequestData.Length, ReceiveIP); // 
Now send our request.
  
  byte[] BytesReceived = listener.Receive(ref ReceiveIP); // Get the response 
data ( "ENAME\bmax2playJSON9000" is returned in a byte array )
  String RetVal = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(BytesReceived);
  
  // The port number is all the digits following JSON which is easily parsed
  
--------------------


thanks for your help.



We can't stop here this is bat country. RIP Hunter S Thompson.
