I don't have any trouble with [udpsend] either. It's [netsend 1] that can't broadcast (neither in Pd Vanilla 0.42.5 nor Pd Extended 0.42.5)
Any time you get permission denied it's up to you to set the permissions. (If a program could do that, why have permissions at all?)
That sounds very reasonable, but then how comes that [udpsend] can broadcast packets and [netsend 1] can't (on the same system, same machine, I've tried both right now)?
My guess is that either A) [netsend 1] is doing something wrong, trying to do something that is not really necessary and that requires some permissions that the program doesn't have B) it is printing a wrong error message and the failure is not really due to a denied permission.
