Thanks Nomen,
Although I also don't understand why it wouldn't broadcast on the
subnet, what you report makes sense. When I checked the router, it
seems to log which IPs on the network have active connections, so my
guess is rather than broadcasting, it only sends the packets P2P.
I double checked with an external probe on the WAN just to verify, so I
feel better now.
Happy new year,
Carson
