Nonstandard UDP broadcast

G

Guest

Not recieving UDP broadcast from a nonstandard broadcast address ( ex. 156.212.247.63 not .255). Linux boxes on the same LAN see the packets. It looks like the network card is rejecting the packets. Is there a registry setting to allow the network card to accept these packets?

I don't believe there is a way to change this. Anyone else feel free to
comment.

In this article, we have a few settings, but I don't think any will work.

314053 TCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP

This same article works for all the NT/2K/XP/2K3 etc (But I don't think any
will help)
