Hi,

I could see that public broadcast adress (255.255.255.255) is routed by
default through the local network.
Is there anyway to configure this ?
In fact I would like to send this packet throught a PPTP connexion. Is
it possible ? If yes is it the same way to proceed on win 2k and XP ?

Thanks for your answers

Frank
 
Broadcasts are generally not forwarded on a routed connection, including a
PPTP tunnel. Some VPN appliances can be configured to forward various types
of broadcasts. I don't know of any way to configure a Windows PPTP VPN to do
this.
