Hi, Wilfried! A big THANKS to you.
Actually this was the trick. Now, windows sends that broadcast message, the very interesting thing is that the host appears to be 255.255.255.255 (physically in the packet). Hmmm.... Again, thank you.

I dont know the component, but in fact it is invalid. Technical spoken not, but this should means a broadcast on all existing networks. You have to AND IP and MASK and then you have Network Address. Highest address is broadcast. example: IP 192.168.0.1 MASK 255.255.0.0 == NETWORK 192.168.0.0 so broadcast is: 192.168.255.255 --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
