Simple: I didn't know it even existed, and the examples I found via
Google all used the lenghty code I pasted before :-)
Still nothing in NetCat, but maybe either NetCat doesn't pick up
broadcasts (only unicasts), or it's just not possible to have the
server receive a brodcast from a client running on the same host, and
the NIC is connected to an ADSL modem...
Unless someone knows why the code doesn't work, I'll grab a second PC
to run this test.
begin
IdUDPClient1.Port := UDPDefaultPort;
IdUDPClient1.Active := true;
IdUDPClient1.BroadcastEnabled := True;
IdUDPClient1.Broadcast('HELLO'#13#10, UDPDefaultPort);
end;
Thank you.
