Yes, the client and the server. I have this 0 configuration thing, where
the client finds the server app running on the LAN. The client sends a
message in UDP broadcast on a particular port, and when the server gets
that message it responds with a "here I am" message to the sends ip
using
UDP on the same port, have had no problems so far.

It normally won't get received by the sender unless you have loopback
turned
on.

Hi,
I've an application which uses UDP Sockets for IPC.
My application communicates with another application through UDP
sockets. A fixed port number is used for this. Now I want to receive
the data send by the other application. Both application runs in the
same machine. Can I use the same UDP port for sending and receiving?
If so, is there any chance that the data sent by my application is
received by itself?
