Re: Broadcasts On OS X - Oops!
Hi, As a workaround witch works for me with any Rev issues i still use (2.51 to 2.74) under the Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu or Solaris platforms : Build your stack under the Metacard (2.32 to 2.5 issues tested OK) first. Reopen and save this stack as "stack.rev" under the Rev environment and it will still run OK your TCP/IP sockets tasks, even if you are going head in continue to develop this stack under the Rev platform.

But if I'm remembering correctly, you can send broadcast packets from rev, but a bug in rev prevents them from being accepted and responded to. So the whole exercise is probably moot.

H - what exactly do you mean by "they don't get routed across the network" ? A subnet broadcast packet (i.e. to a .255 address, for most of us), *should* be sent on the local network segment (i.e. delivered to each device connected on the same subnet). It should *not* be forwarded by any router attached to the network segment (ignore the special case where you send a subnet broadcast to a subnet other than the one you are connected to, and the router is suitably configured :-) It is certainly possible to send a broadcast packet from OSX (e.g. you can do "ping 192.168.1.255" and it works correctly), but I don't know whether or not it is possible to do it from Rev. I'll play with it some more later tonight when I can have more than one machine on my network Although this is more of a hack than anything, you could use a loop from 1 to 254 and use the current hosts IP address to emulate the effect of a broadcast. Indeed a hack - beware of flooding the network with back-to-back packets . -- Alex Tweedly mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tweedly.net ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

That should have been 'doesn't end in .255' not .222 Cheers, Luis. Luis wrote: Hiya, .255 is usually used as the broadcast IP for any routers/routing in the network. The broadcast address is for _network broadcasts_. Change the IP address you're sending to so that it doesn't end in .222 or .0 Cheers, Luis.
