not broadcasting lan games correctly #48

GHost Version: 15.
System: Debian x64

Hey, I'm trying to get ghost++ working on my dedicated debian box.
My idea was to manage the games using the admin game provided by ghost and
I thought I should be able to access it using a vpn (openvpn).
Im using a tap device which should transfer _any_ packages. (Playing with
another peer using that vpn works)

The problem is that ghost doesn't broadcast the game correclty. If I leave
udp_broadcasttarget blank, wireshark doesn't see antyhing at the remote
machine, if I change it to 10.0.0.255 (which represents one of the 3
ipranges I'm using with vpn) all I get is an arp request (screen attached)
Needless to say that warcraft 3 doesn't see the game.
If I change the ip to my specific ip, in this case 10.0.0.6, it works, but
just for me and no one else in the vpn.

I tried to fix it by myself, but the patches supplied in the forum are, as
far a I know, already included in the v 15 release (with small changes).

I basically think that this is a kinda simple problem, but im not enough
into c++ to find the error myself.

I don't really know why, but I just found out that it works if i use 
10.0.255.255.
I think the subnetmask was not 255.255.255.0.
That bug report should be fixed, I don't know if this could pose a problem in 
the future.

greets

You can avoid having to use a vpn if you use the ghostrcon branch from svn 
together with a polling app like 
minimus (http://code.google.com/p/animus)

That sounds cool, but afaik it does just work now. We are using the vpn even if 
we
don't play warcraft, so thats no problem.
Those applications still look like a very good recommendation, maybe I'll try 
them.

Anyways, thanks for that great application, my friends and I already love it 
even if
we didn't even play with it yet.
