Hi Maarten, LiveCOde has no built-in support for multicast, but you could try UDP datagram broadcasting instead. If you're looking for an implementation of Zeroconf (aka Bonjour in Apple parlance), you might consider using a separate Java process to leverage the JmDNS library. I wrote up a blog post a while back: <http://quartam.blogspot.com/2011/01/zeroconfbonjour-in-livecode-with-jmdns.html> And I refined it slightly for my RunRevLive.11 presentation on Extending LiveCode with Java, for which you can download the source code here: <http://downloads.quartam.com/elcwj.zip> Of course this won't work on a platform that lacks a Java runtime (iOS) but it's a great feature for any desktop application.
