Hi, <br> Is there any way I can ask the OLPC to broadcast the UDP packets. I am broadcasting the UDP packets by writing to the UDP port and setting the destination address to 255.255.255.255 . I am using ports 61556 and 61557 for communication. So if the antenna of the OLPC ( and hence its wireless connectivity) is functional wont it broadcast the UDP packets it receives for broadcast?<br>
<br>Thanks<br>jbsp72<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 1:30 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david@lang.hm">david@lang.hm</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Visibility in Neighbourhood View is determined by access from the XO to<br>
the Jabber server. The Jabber server does not relay these UDP packets<br>
for you. Therefore visibility is not an indicator of ability to operate<br>
over UDP.<br>
<br>
A wireless router will relay the UDP packets. The relay is being done<br>
by the router itself, and so any XO not associated with the router may<br>
not receive the UDP packets unless the packets are forwarded by the<br>
router to whatever router the other XO is associated with.<br>
<br>
Can you show me one of these UDP packets?<br>

remember that broadcast packets don't generally go through routers (they go through bridges, but not routers)<br>
<br>
so if the two XO's are on different subnets, broadcasts won't be seen by the other one.<br>
