playing with SO_BROADCAST on centos

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a small program that I am broadcasting out on port 36 and
attempting to receive information back.

Using "tcpdump port 36" I can see 2 devices responding to me
but I get no data.

The response my program gets is:

Size IP Address      Subnet          MAC Address           ID
20  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         00-00-00-00-00-00

Does someone know what I might not be doing correct?
Running the same program under windows works, running it under wine on linux works
it just doesnt work on linux.

I have iptables disabled at this time.

Thanks for nay suggestions.
