Sorry, but the setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, ...) function is not
the solution.  As the man pages state:
 
     SO_BROADCAST             (boolean option; SOCK_DGRAM and AF_INET
                              sockets only) toggles permission to
                              transmit broadcast messages.

Yes I do need to set the option when broadcasting - sendto() - but my problem
is receiving.  The 3000 seems to be able to broadcast with little difficulty
and this can be picked up simultaneously by our 9000 and PCs.  But the
reverse is not true.  If the 9000 broadcasts, the PCs pick it up, but the
3000 doesn't.  Similarly, if a PC broadcasts the 9000 and other PCs pick it
up, but not the 3000.
 
To be sure, I set the SO_BROADCAST option on the socket on the receiving
socket anyway.  No difference.
 
So once more...any ideas?  I'm suspecting there may be a NMMGR configuration
issue here.  Either that or gremlins.
 
Thanks.
