.Net Remoting - How to discover remoting servers on the local network?

[dmassey]

I am using .net remoting in my application, and I want the user to be able to pick an available server from a list instead of having to know the computer name and type it in.

Is there a way that I can discover Remoting servers on the local subnet that have a given port and topic?

or

Is there a way that I can browse and get a list of all the computer names on the local subnet or workgroup?

I found an answer to my second question here

Does you network use Active Directory? You can get a list of computer's using the DirectoryServices namespace (I believe that's correct). After that you can use WMI to get individual computer information.

Might be an easier way...that's just what popped into my head...
