Hi guys,

In Pharo, it is not possible to catch a UDP Broadcast message. Catching a UDP message is easy and works fine, but not when it is broadcasted (strange !)

To send or receive a broadcast packet you need to put special options on the socket on the native side (setsockopt). You need to look if the SO_BROADCAST option is mentioned anywhere. If not it won’t work without adding them. And for sending them you need almost special privileges on the system. This is not a „user feature“. Norbert

Does someone try that ? Could someone propose a solution ? Maybe with OSProcess or NativeBoost ?

Thank you a lot.
