Well, my code did also send out packets to 255.255.255.255. But the
server on the other end didn't think it should accept the packets,
since
the Ethernet Address in the packet header wasn't set to the correct
local
subnet broadcast address. Funny, OT on 9 native and on Classic do set
this automagically.
I'm curious about this. There is no "local subnet broadcast address"
in the Ethernet spec. There is broadcast and multicast. Both the
broadcast IP address and the subnet broadcast IP address should
translate to the ethernet broadcast address. Can you be more specific
about the reason the remote host ignored/rejected the packet?

Justin
