UDP Broadcast

I can't figure out why my code does not recieve the message. The only
message that it receives is the one going out from my machine. I am
suppose to send out a message to a server. Upon receiving that message
on the server side the server is suppose to send a message back. I
can't get my app to receive that message. It only receives the one
being sent out by my machine. I know that the server is sending out a
message because there is another app in vb that receives the message.
Here is my code:

private constructor()
{
iepSend = new IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Broadcast , UDP_PORT);
epSend = (EndPoint)iepSe nd;

iepRx = new IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Any, UDP_PORT);
epRx = (EndPoint)iepRx ;

m_SocketUDP = new Socket(AddressF amily.InterNetw ork, SocketType.Dgra m,
ProtocolType.Ud p);
m_SocketUDP.Set SocketOption(So cketOptionLevel .Socket,
SocketOptionNam e.Broadcast, 1);
m_SocketUDP.Set SocketOption(So cketOptionLevel .Socket,
SocketOptionNam e.ReuseAddress, 1);
m_SocketUDP.Con nect(epSend);

udpRxSocket = new Socket(iepRx.Ad dressFamily, SocketType.Dgra m,
ProtocolType.Ud p);
udpRxSocket.Set SocketOption(So cketOptionLevel .Socket,
SocketOptionNam e.ReuseAddress, 1);
udpRxSocket.Set SocketOption(So cketOptionLevel .Socket,
SocketOptionNam e.ReceiveTimeou t, 5000);
udpRxSocket.Bin d(iepRx);

SetupReceiveCal lbackUDP()

}

private void SetupReceiveCal lbackUDP()
{
AsyncCallback receiveData = new AsyncCallback(O nReceiveData);
udpRxSocket.Beg inReceiveFrom(b uffer, 0, buffer.Length,
SocketFlags.Non e, ref epRx, receiveData, udpRxSocket);

}

private void OnReceiveData(I AsyncResult ar)
{
Socket socket = (Socket)ar.Asyn cState;

try
{
int nBytesRec =
socket.EndRecei veFrom(ar, ref epRx);
if(nBytesRec > 0)
{
string Received =
Encoding.ASCII. GetString(buffe r, 0, nBytesRec);
//Received +=
socket.RemoteEn dPoint.ToString ();
WriteOutput("Re ceived Data: "
+ Received);
SetupReceiveCal lbackUDP();
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
WriteOutput("Er ror. "+ e.Message);
}

}

Anyone know whats wrong?

I need some code that gets the address from a server. I read somewhere that you could do this by starting some broadcast server using UDP. The client should send an broadcast message, and when the server answering the client gets the address. But how do I implement this? I did this simple quick-hack: Server: Socket server = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);

Hello! I have got machines that answer a certain UDP broadcast request with certain information about them. Some years ago I wrote a VB6 application that just sent out this UDP broadcast request and received all machine information to display all available machines in a grid. Now I want to write the same application in C# but so far with no success.

I'm going around in circles here and need some help. Scenario: I am using (have used) either the UDPClient class or Sockets class to broadcast some bytes to 255.255.255.255 (udp protocol). Upon doing so, a device (of which I will know nothing about) will receive my broadcast and send out a broadcast of its own. Using Ethereal (LAN packet sniffer), I can see my broadcast, and I can see the device broadcast. I cannot however receive...

Hello, this might be an easy question, but I don't have any handy solution at hand. I have an application that is supposed to send UDP broadcast. So far so easy, I did: Socket sockSendBroadcast = null; IPEndPoint ipeSendBroadcast = null; ipeSendBroadcast = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Broadcast, iSomePort);

Hi there. I have a problem concerning an UDP socket in C++ (Winsock). The next paragraphs is merely to explain the system I am working on.

Hi, I have a problem in receiving UDP broadcast data. We have a simple application which listens for the UDP broadcast data from the external servers. We can receive the UDP broadcast data from one of the servers. For the other external server, our program does not receive any data in the sockets, but we can see the broadcast data in tcpdump capture. Is there any possible reason on why our sockets cannot receive the UDP broadcast, but the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
