Like the title sugests I need a way to find other systems running my app on a LAN without knowing they're IP's.

Or just a general method of broardcasting a message accross a LAN

How about making your program upload your IP address on the LAN to a web server. Then have all your other programs check to see if that file is there and then download it every 60 seconds, or whatever. Once they download it they can open it, read your IP address, and then connect to your IP and then send you there IP.
