Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: v0.41.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ClaudiusMaximus (claudiusmaximus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: netsend udp broadcast permission denied

Initial Comment: "connect 192.168.1.255"--[netsend 1] => connecting stream socket: Permission denied (13)

seems the default value of the socket option SO_BROADCAST has changed in recent Linux [1], so must now be set explicitly if desired.

From "man 7 socket" on Debian/Lenny

SO_BROADCAST Set or get the broadcast flag. When enabled, datagram sockets receive packets sent to a broadcast address and they are allowed to send packets to a broadcast address. This option has no effect on stream-oriented sockets.

depending on OS, setting SO_BROADCAST may be disallowed anyway, but as far as I can tell it does no harm to try to enable it (only affects UDP to broadcast address, does nothing for non-UDP or non-broadcast-address)
