Thanks for all the replies to this.

I think the option that best suits my needs is the UDP broadcast. Because the board will ultimately be plugged into a network over which I have no control I don't want to require the end user to have to fiddle with their DHCP settings to get the board to work. The UDP message sounds like the best way to remove any effort from the end user.

Thanks for the help, I'll report back with my progress (soon I hope!)
