I just finished up some classes on MFC programming and im ripe with windows knowledge but not too much experiance with MFC. I want to make a server browser as my first ''serious'' MFC app. There isn''t too much information on the web as to go about doing this. So I guess my first question is how do I ping a server with MFC, and my second question is how do I retrieve the server information(name, players, scores etc...) for the various games like Quake and Half-Life? I assume this information is stored in some kind of node, but I could be completly wrong. Does any body have any ideas where I should start or have experiance with this kind of thing?

Download the Quake/Half-Life source code. There''s bound to be some stuff in there about servers (check out Wavelength for the HL source, and PlanetQuake for the Quake source).
