managing reception broadcast address protocol UDP

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
#1

hi,

I'm trying to receive a broadcast address in protocol UDP with Ethershield.

My program only receives a regular IP address

How can I manage subnet mask with arduino 1.0?

Thanks for your answers.

If you open a UDP receive port you should receive any packets broadcast to that UDP port on your local subnet.

You receive the subnet mask form your DHCP server. If you don't have a DHCP server (which means you are providing a fixed IP address) you specify the DNS server address, gateway address, and subnet mask when you call Ethernet.begin().
