Yup, just tested this. I had made a few console versions of the UDP demoes, and couldn't get it working over localhost. I then later found out that the GUI demoes didn't work either. I thought it had to do with sp2 or so, but it turned to be this, if I change 255.255.255.255 to 127.0.255.255 it works. (I use 172.50/16 for my nic) So I guess the only solution to do a real broadcast it to enumerate all interfaces and compute the broadcast IP and do the broadcast itself seperately. I still wonder why 255.255.255.255 is allowed to the default route, but not to loopback though. I would understand if it was the other way around :-) BTW, Francois, I have working console udp demoes, but am struggling to have udplstn terminate on a keystroke. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
