Erich, can you give me a hint here?

This program opens 0.0.0.0:950, sets SO_BROADCAST and sends a message to 
255.255.255.255:950 (it's own port). It does that so it can get the local
computer IP by receiving it's own message.

After receiving it's own broadcast it closes the socket (0.0.0.0:950) and opens
a new socket using the received address, let's suppose 192.168.0.1:950. It
again sets SO_BROADCAST in this new socket and sends a new broadcast, now to
192.168.0.255:950 expecting it to arrive to itself again. But this second
messages never arrives... It keeps sending this message in a regular interval
but as it does not receive it the program does not behave correctly.

The sockets are UDP.
