Broadcast routing problem
I have 2 Nets : 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 linked together by a Fedora linux router.
The linux works perfectly. it forwards all the packets betwin subnets. The users on both segment use a intrachat program that sends broadcast udp to ip 255.255.255.255 on port 7550. I need to make them "see" each other .. that is to route the broadcast messeges from one segment to the other. eth1: 192.168.1.101 eth0:192.168.2.1 Need urgent help. plese bring any suggestion. as complicated as it mai be .. I'll apreciate it thanks |
Routers don't route broadcasts. They aren't really supposed to, because they seperate broadcast domains.

but isn't there a way to make them do that ??
only on a specific port ?? |
use a intrachat in subnets
I know only one solution of this problem. To solve it you have to add IP addresses of the computers from the other work groups or subnets to the list of broadcast connection in intrachat program. The users on different subnets don't see the same main chat, but they can see the list of computers running in booth subnets and they can have private chat.
