- Problem: I am trying to receive broadcasted UDP packages. I'm on SunOS 4.1.3,
- and use datagram sockets in the internet domain. The port number is 2010 (non-
- privileged), and the sender has it's socket configured to allow broadcasts. In
- fact, `etherfind' shows that the packets indeed are sent out. However, the
- receiver (using revcfrom) doesn't, listening on port 2010, doesn't get them.
- When I change to sender not to broadcast, but to send directly to the machine
- running the receiver, all works well.
-
- I've looked into SUN's `radio' sources, and all seems to by very similar.
- Any help appreciated...
