detect connectable db servers

Hello,

how I can detect via code (C++, C#) which sql servers like oracle, mssql,
mysql are close to me and connectable within one or two second (timeout to
wait for answers should be variable)?

Thank you.

regards
Mark

I don't think it's possible. You should already know the names of the servers
you have permission to connect to.

I know how to, but I will not tell you. It is against the law to access
computers if you are not authorised to do so.
