It seems like 1.2 pre1 cannot do UDP broadcasts. DatagramSocket.send throws permission denied if broadcast address is specified. I looked at the kernel source (I use 2.0.36) and it looks like before broadcasting is allowed SO_BROADCAST socket option needs to be set on the socket. jdk 1.2 on NT dows not have this problem.
