LAN Messenger cross subnets

Carson Reichert:

dear all,
i have used LAN Messenger since 2 years, now i want to connecting cross subnet, for example:
network A --> 192.168.1.0/24
network B --> 192.168.2.0/24
so how to way?

thanks a lot

Obie Cormier:

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, hope this is still relevant! I had to do something similar. You need to edit the LAN Messeger.ini located in C:\Users\#Username\AppData\Roaming\LAN Messenger 

In here you can include the extra ip's you wish for the program to forward to.

I'm not sure if this is the best solution, but it works for me. In the .ini put 

[BroadcastList]

1\Broadcast=10.19.0.255

size=3

2\Broadcast=10.1.3.14

(Increase this as you go along, so the next would be 3\Broadcast=10.1.3.15 and so on).

Hope this helps.

Hans Beahan:

here is a guide for connecting subnets https://messenger.softros.com/help/subnets/

The principles are the same on every messaging app.

If I need to connect 2 networks accross de internet, what woulb be the steps?

1. Open port 50000 on network nº2

2. Add public ip of network nº2 to Broadcast list or Multicast List?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there any other solution?

I have various vlan connected by a firewall. I do rules to allow communication in port 50000 in all vlans. I can do ping between vlans but no message arrive.

Thank you,

Hi there,

Have you tried LANcet chat https://lancetchat.com

Cannot change - LAN messenger broadcast address, UDP port, TCP port

Eleanor R. Moore:

Good Day from down under

On this page - https://messenger.softros.com/help/subnets/

Its says you can change 

What is broadcast address, UDP port, TCP port etc?

Broadcast address is used for network wide communications. You can edit it to include a smaller subnet. UDP and TC ports are communication endpoints used to identify a specific address. Follow these links to know more.

But I found you cant, as I have almost 40 years experience with C I fixed this myself.

What is best way for me so send updated code to source code 'owners' ?

David P. Smith:

The best way is fork & pull request on github.

Could you post your file edits and then at least I can recompile the executable?
