FLIPS issue

[Tiago Jorge]

errr...
Its strange...
I've gaven up of broadcast... setsockopt works out fine. I've debugged 
the errors that came from the calls of socket_linux (after our mail i 
went to follow all the path that you describe in this email :) ) and 
stuff... and if i broadcast it says "network unreachable" and if i try 
to multicast it says "no such device".

It's strange because i've configured the NIC to work both with multicast 
and broadcast(i think...) and it works fine peer to peer. I've set his 
address, netmask and broadaddr and flags to UP RUNNING BROADCAST 
MULTICAST... so i'm out of solutions. I'm converting now my program to 
unicast. But if you have any solution on this i would apreciate it much.

thanks for the help

Tiago
