Hi, Everybody. In FreeBSD, I write a program in python(2.4.4 & 2.5), which include a broadcast routine. But, I send the broadcast in FreeBSD, it's different from others OS, like Windows, Linux... When I send the broadcast in FreeBSD with address 255.255.255.255, the packet can not be received by other OS. But I send the broadcast in non-BSD System with address 255.255.255.255, all OS got it. When I send the broadcast in FreeBSD with address like 192.168.1.255, all OS got it. I have seen the Python socket implement, there is no added option for FreeBSD, but why? Why it is different?
