I'm developing a JAVA software and I want to ask the other clients for a database. This is a kinda shared DB which contains datas I wanna merge. Now my quiestion is: how can I detect the IPs of the other machines(on local network) using the same client software?

It would make more sense for the clients to discover the server's address. That way you only have to publish one IP address:port. – user207421 Jul 27 '14 at 12:16

I've done this before by having each client have a thread listening on a particular UDP port and then the querying client can send a broadcast on the LAN to that same port.
