Hi Arash,

I have that set on the sockets, but that is only for outgoing packets as far as I can tell from the documentation of the socket option and so I don't think that is applicable in this case.

This might be a red herring, but are you setting the socket options correctly?

boost::asio::socket_base::broadcast option(true); mainSocket.set_option(option); broadcastReceiveSocket.set_option(option);
