Ok, for my game i need a way to find games on the lan. i know that with UDP is broadcasting but i am unable to find a dll that supports that for GDK. im also having trouble writing my own.

i need it so games that are being hosted can be broadcast across the lan networks and clients searching for games can find then. so say the host send a broadcast with information of (Ip:10.1.1.2 , CurrentPlayersNumber:4 , Game Type: Free 4 All )

All help is welcome.

Also if you want a free way to do this RakNet is available, although DarkNet will most likely be easiest to integrate
