Hello Mark, > 1. Do I need two TWSocket? One to send and one to listen?
No you set it to Listen, and you can send and receive with the same. > 2. Since this is broadcast, will I receive the data I transmit in the > OnDataAvaliable callback? Yes if you broadcast then you send to yourself also. Since UDP is not reliable it could be possible that you don't receive it yourself, because while you are sending you are not receiving :) > 3.

Please take a look at ReceiveFrom method. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Monday, March 31, 2008, 03:36, zayin wrote: > Hi, > I am new to programming for UDP, always used TCP, and I have searched for > answers to some basic questions without joy.
