Hello,
I'm trying to create a broadcast socket in some portable code (windows XP &
mandrake linux). When I run the following lines through idle:
import socket
s = socket.socket( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM )
s.connect( ('<broadcast>', 17100) )
On windows, connect() returns and I have a broadcast socket to which I can
write. One LINUX connect() just tells me 'Permission denied'.
Does anybody know why? Any thoughts on how I can get around this? I have to
transmitt data to an old system. The system only reads broadcast data on port
17100.
Thanks for the input.
