Do you try to bind the socket to a broadcast address? That won't go. You 
bind it to the host's address in the network you want to broadcast to. 
E.g. in the network 192.168.1.0 your machine has the address 
192.168.1.100. You bind socket to this address. Then you can broadcast 
to the broadcast address of the network 192.168.1.255.
