Hi,

I'm not sure I understood the question right, but I do broadcast
UDP packets to 192.168.1.255 with [netsend] in my every day life in UDP mode, i.e. [netsend 1]. Just send it a [connect 192.168.1.255 3000( message and use a
[netreceive 3000 1] (1 means UDP) in the receiving machines. Port 3000 is just an example of course.

Ah, good to know. FYI, you can use [connect 255.255.255.255 3000 ( and it should work on any network. 192.168.1.255 would only work
if your IP starts with 192.168.1.

However, if you mean TCP broadcast... I feel so ashamed but I don't
even know if that exists.

No idea about multicast either.

TCP Broadcast exists, but I don't know if it works with [netsend].
