Yep - one of the advantages of using UDP.

Does the hub recognise your app when it starts up and sends it's first
config.app message?
Not sure which hub you're using - if you're using the one built into
xPLHal, or the VB.NET hub, then look in your Application event log - it
will log a message each time it detects a new application.

Also, if you want to post the portion of your code relating to
creating/binding your receiving socket, then we can take a look.
Alternatively, if you want to mail me the entire code offlist I'd be happy
to take a look.
