It works great on HP-UX but does not work on Fedora Core 5. I emailed the fedora list but they were of little to no help. Does the kernel support SO_REUSEPORT? If so can anyone give me some suggestions why my program does not work on Linux? I did a route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0 but that did not do anything. I have found out since I posted this message to linux-kernel that SO_REUSEPORT is a BSDism. The Linux equivalent is SO_REUSEADDR which I did try. My program compiles cleanly using SO_REUSEADDR, but the server does not receive any messages. I am trying to run the client and server on the same PC. This is just for faster development. I can code faster on my home Linux system than I can on the remote HP-UX system. Thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
