HELP with a net tool

Hello Friends:

I need to finish a little "net-intercomunicator".
It is like a any messenger but working in a local network (send text and
some stream)
I don't have a "server application". Every instance of my program acts as a
server and client at the same time.
To connect with the others machines I need to know all the IPs (I´m writting
this manually for now)

I want now that work makes automatically sending a brocast UCP message and
collect the IPs who answer my call.
To send the broadcast I take the client IP and replace the last value with
255.
(not tested yet)

This is a wright way to do it? amI wrong?
Is there any alternative method? (I test WNetEnumResource with no
satisfactory results)
Does Anybody haves any tip to me?

I use Indy 9 and Delphi 4
Thanks in advance
Cristian.-

Thanks
