Can't send udp packet to local network without gateway.

[bestpika]

I can't send udp packet to local network without gateway.
But can send to broadcast address (255.255.255.255).

#define PORT 5000

#include <EtherCard.h>
#include <IPAddress.h>

uint8_t macAddr[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 1 };
uint8_t ipAddr[] = { 172, 16, 255, 1 };
uint8_t netMask[] = { 255, 255, 0, 0 };

uint8_t distAddr[] = { 255, 255, 255, 255 }; // I can't send packet to 172.16.255.2.

byte Ethernet::buffer[256];

void setup() {
  ether.begin(sizeof(Ethernet::buffer), macAddr);
  ether.staticSetup(ipAddr, 0, 0, netMask);
  ether.printIp("", ether.myip);
}

void loop() {
  char c[] = { 'h', 'i' };
  ether.sendUdp(c, sizeof(c), PORT, distAddr, PORT);
  delay(1000);
}

This may need a fix similar to #167.

But udp already does this
https://github.com/jcw/ethercard/blob/master/tcpip.cpp#L377

Can you confirm you are using the latest version of the library?

[bestpika]

I use git clone https://github.com/jcw/ethercard.git to clone this repo.
So I think I get the latest version.

[solarkennedy]

It is possible that we have a /24 assumption somewhere in the code.

Can you get a packet capture (tcpdump -s 1500) of the thing trying to transmit packets? (I know this is difficult if they are not arriving at 172.16.255.2, but maybe they are being sent out incorrectly)

Same problem with repo clone today.
