Then the teacher could share out their machine as "teacher.local" to let student machines connect to it. https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/mDNS---Telling-the-world-about-you-(and-your-device)/ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762 The most basic kind of Multicast DNS client may simply send standard DNS queries blindly to 224.0.0.251:5353, without necessarily even being aware of what a multicast address is. This change can typically be implemented with just a few lines of code in an existing DNS resolver library. @Udo, did you ever find that mDNS package you lost? http://forum.world.st/Issue-with-UDP-Sockets-tp4827014p4827245.html mDNS would be an interesting facility to include in the main Pharo release image, perhaps making it very easy for our "live" systems to locate each other on a local network without external infrastructure. cheers -ben
