Problem:
I have a machine Sender, that sends packages to a certain IP address in a local network. I have also machines A, B, C, etc, connected to the same local network. I want these machines to listen to the packets from Sender inside, lets say, a python script. Also, I cannot change the target IP address of the packets sent by Sender.
Question:
A simple solution I thought was to set a custom broadcast IP on machines A, B, C..., so they would listen to that IP address where packets are being sent. This can be done in Linux using the command ifconfig
, afaik.
However, these machines run Windows. How could I set a custom Broadcast IP on these machines?
