| | How to broadcast DatagramPackets? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The IP address your program sends to is 0.0.0.0, but the SO_BROADCAST changes this to the broadcast address. |
 | | In using Multicast, the sender sends on an IP address in the Muticast range (224.*.*.* to 239.*.*.*) and a port number and the reciever listens on that same IP and port. |
 | | If you want to do broadcast, you do have to determine the broadcast address on your network (as the previous post mentioned) and then send to it. |
