Apologies if this question has been asked frequently, but I can't find the
answer...
How can I receive a UDP broadcast? I am using the idUDPclient on one
machine to send a broadcast (since I don't know the IP of the machine I want
to talk to beforehand), and I assumed the idUDPserver would receive the
broadcast. However, either I have installed Indy incorrectly or something
else is amuck, but it is very frustrating: If I create an OnUDPRead event
handler for the UDP server and try to compile, it creates this line:
procedure IdUDPServer1UDPRead(Sender: TObject; AData: TBytes;
ABinding: TIdSocketHandle);
and flags it as "Undeclared identifier: TBytes" !!
I cannot find any instance of "TBytes" in any file in the whole Delphi5 file
tree (including Indy files). Indy never seems to work on the first try, it
always requires a bit of wrestling with it...
Thank you for any help
