This doesn't seem right at all. If I bind a socket to my lan ip(192.168.0.8), I'm not getting broadcasts on 255.255.255.255. I wrote a test program, binding to lan IP works on windows. Was something changed recently, or has it been like this for a while? It's causing some network games to not run properly. - 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
