The status of your local area connection (ipconfig /all) should tell you
what the netmask is for your public ip, from this you can work out the
broadcast address

Normally broadcasts don't propogate over the internet (public ip
addresses),
routers along the way somewhere will block it. It all depends on where
everything is located. If you're running it all on your local pc, that
happens to have a public ip, try using the loopback address and broadcast
address instead...
