True, which in my case is 255.255.255.255 (local broadcast). The point is that this broadcast should be delivered to all IP addresses in the same subnet (in my case e.g. 192.168.100/24). But my socket only receives it if it is bound to INADDR_ANY (which is internally 0.0.0.0), but not if bound to 192.168.100.100 (which is a random address in said subnet). -- Detlef Vollmann vollmann engineering gmbh Linux and C++ for Embedded Systems http://www.vollmann.ch/ Linux for PXA270 Colibri module: http://www.vollmann.ch/en/colibri/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
