Network / Re: Code using udp socket not working

I just asked two of my friends to test it and they both told me didnt work on their computers, pings worked though so it's some problem in my code

Next time i'll try pinging the two computers and send you the result, didn't think of trying even though they should be in the same network, also how would i go on about using wireshark?

Yes they are, I tried it on my school's network since i don't have multiple computers at home so that may be why

Why does this code work if i test it by opening the .exe file 2 times on my computer but doesn't if i try it on separate ones?
