Dear newsgroup,
first of all let me tell you that I am no network nor an C++ expert. I have
several years of programming experience but this is the first time that I
have to deal with UDP sockets (and sockets generally) at a relatively low
level layer. If this is the wrong place for my question please be
considerate and point me to the right location, thanks!
The project I am developing is aimed for Linux deployment and is being
developed under Linux. I am using the GNU CommonC++ library, especially the
UDPSocket and UDPBroadcast class, for my purposes. I've successfully
managed to build a NetBIOS name query package and sent it to the broadcast
address of my network via the UDPBroadcast class. Ethereal shows me that
the packet is transmitted and an answer is being replied. I am unable to
receive the answer though, because it's directly sent to the IP of my
computer. I am listening on IP 0.0.0.0 (which, as far as I understand,
means "listen on all network devices") via the UDPSocket class. I do
receive all UDP broadcast messages, but I don't receive the packets sent to
192.168.0.3 (which is the IP of my computer, the originator of the name
query). The UDPReceive class, which may be an alternative way of receiving
the packets, unfortunately needs the IP address of the other computer (the
one which is sending the name query reply) but I am not aware of this IP at
that moment. The purpose of a NetBIOS name query is to resolve a NetBIOS
name to a IP address.
So my question is: How do I receive a UDP packet which is sent to my
computer without needing to know the IP of the sender?

Hello everyone,
I have a vb.net application that wraps the TCPListener object
in a class. The server connects to the local interface and establishes
itself on port 9900. It then polls for pending connections every 500ms.
I also have a vb6 application that uses the WinSock control at the other end
of the communication tunel. I have to work with vb6 here because it uses
less memory than .NET.

I am (attempting) to move an existing socket application to use raw sockets.
Right now, my application is essentially a port forwarder. Upon receiving a
connection, it will open a connection to an "internal" server and simply
relay all information back and forth (when the client sends something, my
app sends that to the server, when server sends something, my app sends that
to the client).
While what I have right DOES work, the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
