UDP client does not send packets on certains networks

I fight with problems using a UDP client which does not send packets on certain networks.

  1. My goal is:
    I want to run a UDP client that handles connecting, sending and receiving of a UDP data packets to a UDP server in the same local area network. It keeps the connection to the same UDP server the whole lifecycle.
  2. My actions are:
    I designed a base class (see code below)
  3. The result I see is:
    In my home network it works fine. But in my office network, the packets are not sent or at least they do not arrive at my UDP server. When I do the same client task on my PC, it works fine on all networks. So I am sure that both my the networks work fine with UDP.
  4. My expectation & question is:
    Where could be the problem in my implementation and is there a complete example of a UDP client?

Here my client code:

UDP does not know about networks, IP does.
If something does not work in a specific environment, describe your complete scenario with IP addresses and masks, put a network sniffer and capture network traffic. Are you using broadcast ? (don’t think so). You might have wrong addressing/mask, a firewall near your server, a router not routing your subnet, …
Your code is too long for my lazyness, maybe someone else will follow it and comment.
