Hi,
	I'm currently working on a C/S network game , does anyone has any
experiences on that ?

	My Game is like Counter-Strike , a host setup an server , and other
hosts can either be server or client.
	Unlike Savage , UrbanTerror or something else , there's no master
server , and further i use only one process.
	Which means once you setup an server , you are also the clients , but
you've got some privileges ;-)

	For Clients , How do i get to know if there's a serer on the same
network range ?

	So far i've got 2 ways , which i thought's not so good.

	I) Scan for ports .. bad on speed performances
	II) Send BroadCasts , any machine who can parse our packet is my friends

	Any other good ways ?

	Appreciate any of your ideas ;-)

	Thanks in advance !
