I have written a client program that connects to the local broadcast address and reads datagrams that are produced by a server. It works on my linux (no internet) machine. But on my PC under CYGWIN the binding of the socket to the Broadcast Address give an error EADDRNOAVAIL.
I tried both 127.255.255.255 and also INADDR_BROADCAST. If I change broadcast address to 127.255.255.254, then server and client both work under Cygwin, but that isnt Broadcasting address though. Can anyone help /explain ? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
