Prototype

void SetBroadcastPortNumber(unsigned short port);

Parameters

port The 16-bit port number.

Description

The port number passed to the SetBroadcastPortNumber function is the port number to which broadcasted messages are sent. In order to be received, broadcasted messages must be sent to the port on which servers are listening. Thus, whatever port number is specified by a server when it calls NetworkMgr::SetPortNumber is generally the same port number to which clients should broadcast.
