[Ace-users] [ace-users] ACE_SOCK_Dgram_Bcast to find server

[Robert Thornthwaite]

Matthew, Douglas,

I found the problem.  Our IT department has a "security" program that
goes around and reinstalls your iptables.  The response packets were
being filtered out.  ACE works as it should.  Sorry to have taken your
time.

Regards,
Bob
