Hi, I hope that someone can help me: I'' currently developing a simple client/server system that let me take the control of a remote pc on internet. The server lies on the remote machine while the client''s running on my one. Since ip addresses are dynamic, I need a way to let the client know the ip addr of the server and someone suggested me to broadcasting it over internet. The client is listening and waits for that address. When it arrives, the client connects to the server. This runs on my two pc''s connected by an ethernet board, but doesn''t run over internet. So I have a question: is the broadcasting over the entire internet possible? Or what other way should I try?
give me your IP address and your credit card number and i''ll tell you...

I dont think you should broadcast over 255.255.255.255
You can only broadcast over the local subnet, you can''t broadcast over the Internet.
