Hi All,

I'm trying to write some Java code that receives UDP packets on a
specific port.  I'm using jre1.5.0_06 on a windows XP pro machine.  My
problem is that the code works on a Linux box, but not my Windows box.
Here is the code (which I modified from anohter Usenet post):
<code>
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        DatagramSocket socket;
        try {

            socket = new DatagramSocket(12345);

            byte[] buf = new byte[256];
            DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
            System.out.println("Attempting to receive packet...");
            socket.receive(packet);

            buf = packet.getData();
            System.out.println("received packet: "+(new
                    String(buf)).substring(0,20) +
                    " from " + packet.getAddress() );

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
</code>

I'm generating the udp packets with the following linux command:
nc -u 192.168.1.30 12345

Again, this code works fine under linux, but does not work under
Windows.  Is this a known issue?  Are there any workarounds or code
changes I need to make?  (sending UDP packets under Windows works
fine).

Thanks,
