I apologize in advance since this isn't strictly the most appropriate
group to ask this question in.
I am using a Socket to broadcast UDP datagrams as such:
FSocket.EnableB roadcast = true;
FSocket.SendTo( bytes, new IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Broadcast , 9991) );
I receive the datagram on the other computers on the network, but the
computer sending the datagram does not receive the packet. Is this
normal behaviour? I.e Are broadcast packets received by a network
interface ignored if it realizes it was also the sender?
Incidentally, if I open Ethereal/Wireshark and start capturing
packets, the problem disappears and all broadcast packets are suddenly
received by the sending computer as well.
