can you have a name as part of a device gui?
You can then send a broadcast message with a poll request for a particular name as part of the protocol.
Names are easier than ip addresses.

IP addresses change too easily and often under mysterious circumstance as far as the user is concerned.Originally Posted by samsc
Name matching is much simpler.
The protocol will say:
<broadcast message>
<Catalyst 'tv out 1'>
<send me file 0 library 1 bitmap>
<end message>
this way the ip address can change at will, and systems can even be swapped out and it will still work.
