RE: [lwip-users] OT: Binding UDP in WinXP

Yes, I think so.  I think the idea is to have one socket on the PC receive all data from all IP addresses on the port and dispatch who gets the data at the application level.  I hoped that the stack would do this and each WinXP UDP socket would tell me when there is incoming data from the one IP address.  One MS help file mentioned binding a UDP socket to a fixed address is “frowned upon”.  I don’t understand the rationale or reasoning behind this.  I’ll have to switch to using one socket on the PC and handle multiple devices myself unless someone knows of a way to bind UDP to a remote address.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Hi, not sure if I understood you correctly, but isn't that udp packets (unlike tcp), are transmitted over the network without creating any connection before ?

After half a day at this problem that I can’t solve, I figure someone here might say the answer is, “You can’t” and I’ll know I have a big problem. J

I can send UDP data from WinXP to lwIP using SentTo no problem.  I can receive from lwIP if I use the port and IP_ADDRANY.  I realized with 2 of my devices connected I have a problem so I tried to bind the UDP socket in WinXP to the IP address and port of the lwIP device (I know it from a prior UDP “here I am” broadcast).  WinXP refuses to bind (or connect) to a specific IP address.  I know I’m missing something and spent half the day not finding it.  How do you bind a WinXP SOCK_DGRAM socket to a remote IP address and port?

Thank you,

Bill
