Get the running Quake2 servers (gamespy-like)

[-=R0ckAw4Y=-]

Hi,

How can i have all local Quake2 servers actually runing displayed?
I can connect to the port 27901 and send UDP-Broadcast-messages there, and then it displays "Runt Packet" in the Game but what i want is to retrieve the server-infos from all local servers. If i connect to the 27910 port (Serverport for Q2) i don't get the "Runt Packet" message, and in both port-cases i don't get an UDP reply

----------
using vb6 and the original winsock

[-=R0ckAw4Y=-]

well thx for you help but i figured it out by myself
i tried many things (like packet-sniffing), i even brute-forced Q2 so for those interrested in the solution:

you gotta send this string

chr(255) & chr(255) & chr(255) & chr(255) & "status" & chr(0)

(if you just wanna ping a server then replace "status" by "ping")

to the remotehost "255.255.255.255" on port "27910" and then you should get an answer like this:
