read much about it.
assuming you can get a list of hosts on the network.
"Rendezvous is a revolutionary networking technology that lets you create an instant network of computers and devices without any configuration, allows the services and capabilities such as file sharing and printing of each device to be registered on the network, and allows these services to be dynamically discoverable by other devices on the network."
You can find out about it, and download sample code, at:

It's worth noting that Rendezvous is really just Apple's name for their implementation of Zeroconf, which is the subject of an IETF Working Group. There are no RFCs yet, but they have published several draft documents.
