Simple host - technology

Boy, I feel like this is my list lately - no one else has any questions?

 

For those who have used PCAnywhere - particularly in searching for hosts
on a network - PCAnywhere gives you a form with the hosts it has found
to which you can connect.  I need to do something similar - that is, I
need to scan for computers connected on the network that are running a
certain 'host' (that I need to make).  So my question is, what
technology/object/etc., do I search for when looking for info on how to
accomplish this?

 

I don't know the name of the technology/technique to do effective
searching.  Can someone please give me some good search terms/phrases?

 

(Oh, and thanks to all of you who continue to answer questions even when
you don't have many of your own to ask).

 

Peter
