Autodiscovery of LAN devices

[Richard Gaskin]

I'd like to have an app automatically discover and attempt connection to 
other devices on my LAN.

Looking through the list archives I can find a few half-solutions, but 
not one which works well across the platforms LC supports (Mac, Win, 
Linux, iOS, Android).

At this time the only things listening on a port will be desktop 
computers, but I still need to be able to connect with them from any 
other device on the local network, and down the road I may want to allow 
even handheld devices to take on an accept role.

Any robust, tested solutions available?
