JDBP>I find it hard to believe that broadcast doesn't work, too.  (-:

JDBP>You've checked the basics, haven't you ?  You've checked

JDBP>interface in TCP/IP configuration, for example, yes ?

Unfortunately the TCP/IP configuration notebook doesn't work.  Hasn't
worked for ages.  Any configuration has to be done manually with the
configuration files.  When I start the notebook it gives me a java null
pointer error and quits.  I have asked in usenet but nobody has a
solution (although a number of others have the same problem.)

Under WSEB I get

                              AF_INET Address Family:

Under Warp 4 I get:

SOCK     TYPE        FOREIGN          LOCAL        FOREIGN     STATE
                        PORT           PORT           HOST

631 STREAM            0            6804         0.0.0.0 LISTEN

I don't know what this means, but under WSeB I get an extra UDP port.
FYI 6805 is the port number of the UDP port that is supposed to accept
broadcasts.  6804 is my console application which displays messages
from the running applications.  This is with the two server applications
running, but no client connected to them.
