I'm sort of new to both Python and socket programming so I appologize ahead of time if this is a dumb question. I have found that the following code works on windows but on linux I get an exception.
import socket s = socket.socket( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM ) s.connect( ( '<broadcast>', 1617 ) ) The exception I get is: socket.error: (13, 'permission denied') I have tried this on three Linux machines. All firewall software is disabled. Thanks for you time and patience. Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
