Mirage Source

Hi, im not that superpro in vb and i dont know realy how to realise this. No, in theory i know how, but not how to code it:

I want create a list, where all avaiable servers of this game are listed. The problem is, that the program should dont know, for what servers he have to search. I want that all players can make their owen server when they want and other players can find this server and join. And on the serverlist i want to see the IP, the Ping and the number of Players on this server.

My problem is, that i dont realy know how i can search for this servers. I could ping on all ip's and if i get a response i look for the name. But how can i realise this?

You want to ping every possible IP?

Tip, have all the server.exe's send a ping out to YOU.
Much easier..

Okay, the problem is, how did the program know whitch ip to ping on?

...you just.. put whatever your IP is?

Upon startup, a server would register itself with the master server. Players connect to the master server, and are given a list of servers they can connect to (IP/Port/Number of players online/etc) To get the ping, the player would need to ping each server individually. The ping from master to server would not be representative of ping from player to server.
