The broadcast packet is routed OK until it hits the router that is directly connected to the broadcast domain the packet is addresses to and then it just appears to get dropped. I have been reading that there isn't an option to enable these packets to be forwarded or 'exploded' onto the correct network, if this is the case is there anyway that I can make this work ? Thanks for any feedback, Matt. --gKMricLos+KVdGMg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH4DebrmnybSDmzlsRAkYpAKCOtWmzPz/LuLjo4Kg2oaJmqhTQjQCePzcS 2kTSEa0kG9d6hqfYweWT4JI= =p8sI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gKMricLos+KVdGMg--
