Hi @ All,

at OpenNetworkConnection(ServerName$, Port,#PB_Network_UDP) you can select the destination Port.

But Purebasic use a random Port to send the UPD packet. It is possible to select source & destination port on a new Version ???

What do you mean? If the port is random - how do we know what to receive and if someone is sending something? It couldnt be random, then no communication could occur? Right?

Sure it is decided randomly by the operating system if no bind_() was called.

Here is a workaround:

You've got a source port and a destination port!

As for a work around, do a little search for 'winsock' on the forums.

Hello @ All

The problem is that
For Amateur Radio Packet Radio Flexnet-System works on udp

For comunication you need a fix source port on udp
for windows the work around is ok ..... but i need this word around for linux .....


so the best way is that. to implement this direct in Pure.....

The workaround also will work on linux, as Sockets on Windows and Linux are mostly equal.
