Hi anybody,
is there a way to set the source port of an UDP packet manually? What
function can I use in C/C++?

Regards,
Stephan

Call bind() before sending the data.

There is now way without bind?

You could use a raw socket and build the packet yourself, but that
might require more work than calling bind() and it usually requires
root privileges.

Is there some reason you don't want to call bind()?

No, but I thought there was another way! I thought I just have to use
bind() when I want to listen on a specific port for incoming packets.
But anyway, it works!
Thanks!
