Hmm well to answer your question, you could do 2 things. The first thing you could do is have your server scan a range of ip addresses, using a for loop. Or you client could automatically try to connect every 15 seconds or so, using a timer object. This last one i've tried, but a long time ago, and i believe i made it search really fast (like try connecting over and over again within a second), this resulted in an error, which if my memory serves was something like this: you can't attempt more than like 34,000 connections on the wns control. I dont know, you could try this, i dunno. If you have anymore questions, feel free to post
