The broadcastsender and broadcastreceiver example don't seem to work for me.

if i change the bind in the receiver from:

Qt Code: 
  1. udpSocket->bind(45454, QUdpSocket::ShareAddress);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
to
Qt Code: 
  1. QHostAddress myAddress = QHostAddress("127.0.0.1");
  2. udpSocket->bindmyAddress, 45454, QUdpSocket::ShareAddress | QUdpSocket::ReuseAddressHint);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and the sender from

Qt Code: 
  1. udpSocket->writeDatagram(datagram.data(),datagram.size(), QHostAddress::Broadcast, 45454 );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
to
Qt Code: 
  1. QHostAddress myAddress = QHostAddress("127.0.0.1");
  2. udpSocket->writeDatagram(datagram.data(),datagram.size(), myAddress, 45454 )
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

it starts to work.
Before i ask my next question, could anyone shed some light on where i could look why this is the case ? From what i read the example should work as is ?

thanks,
tom
