[QtNetwork] LAN GameServer Port Scan ... how to?

[BrainB0ne]

Hello all

I am struggling with a question.. I just need a little kick into the right direction...

I want to know if it's possible to detect a running Game Server on a LAN (e.g. Unreal Tournament 2004 or Call of Duty 4), by using Qt 4.6

If I get to know how to connect to a port and get information out of it by using Qt 4.6 .. I think I can start coding

I've been reading some docs of the QtNetwork module.. it must be there ... not?
(I'm unfamiliar with network programming... never done that in my software career)

I also played around with some examples of QUdpSocket.. but still I cannot figure out how to start.

In the end I want to scan an IP range the user provides, and show the results in a table-like view.

So you have some suggestions?
