I have written a Qt application that listens for UDP broadcast packets on the network interface p2p1
. I have installed the application in Fedora 17 i386 in a VirtualBox VM. For some reason, the application is not receiving any broadcast packets that I am sending.
I installed and ran Wireshark and verified that the broadcast packets are indeed arriving on p2p1
:
Does anyone have any idea why the application (which is listening for UDP packets on port 41720
) isn't receiving any of the packets? Some security setting or something?
