I actually compared the part of the code that creates the socket line by line and didn't notice any issues/major differences between the C code and TWSocket...

Re: [twsocket] Raw sockets doesn't capture broadcast UDP packets
Hello Arno, I know about the components. They use ICS raw sockets. Because ICS raw sockets does not capture broadcast packets, they don't either :( -- Best regards, Jack Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 9:58:59 AM, you wrote: > Jack wrote: >> Resending ... anyone has any idea why this is happening? > These components use ICS: > http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magmonsock.asp > "Raw sockets which are available with Windows 2000 and later. > This uses WSocket from the François Piette internet component suite, > from http://www.overbyte.be/.

Re: [twsocket] Raw sockets doesn't capture broadcast UDP packets
> These components use ICS: > http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magmonsock.asp He's using my components already, he does not want to use WinPcap (which will fix the problem) due to install issues, and I've been unable to help him about raw sockets, support for which seems sporadic on the OSs and hardware I've tested. I guess few other people have tried raw sockets either.
