Can you see the packet coming-in through tcpdump ( tcpdump -n -i eth0 udp). If the packet is coming-in..i would then check (netstat -s | more) and see if under udp if it says " X#of packet receive errors". what i am trying to say is..u could get this error bcoz the sender is screwing-up with the packet(like computing the checksum incorrectly).. U can try my programs http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~sashi/codeSnippets/sendOneUdp.c http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~sashi/codeSnippets/udpserver.c -Sashi.
