possible?

i’m trying to send UDP broadcast messages to all UDP servers on a network.
is this possible with vvvv?
i’ve set me udp client to send to 255.255.255.250, but servers dont pick up anything.

My setup is:
1 control computer
5 renderer computers

The control computer wants to broadcast its IP address on the network so that the 5 render computers can establish tcp connections with the server.

isnt it just the last number that needs to be 255?

Yes only last number needs to be 255.

This small module will do it for you :)
