通过 Java DatagramSocket 向 255.255.255 发送数据包失败

我正在用java编程一个网络程序，我想向255.255.255.255发送一些数据包，但它失败了，即使我将它们发送到192.168.1.255，根据ifconfig命令的输出，这是广播地址。但是当我将它们发送到我伴侣的IP时，它工作正常。

这是我的程序的代码：

public class StackOverFlow {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Network net= new Network();

        Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
        while(input.hasNext())
          net.sendMessage(input.nextLine());
    }
}

我已经使用DatagarmSocket和DatagramPacket来做到这一点，这是我的网络实现：

class Network {
DatagramSocket socket;

public Network() {
    try {
        socket = new DatagramSocket(8027);
        socket.connect(InetAddress.getByName("255.255.255.255"), 8027);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println("Connection failed. " + e.getMessage());
    }
    listen();
}

public void listen() {
    new Thread() {
        public void run() {
            while (true) {
                try {
                    byte[] buf = new byte[1000];
                    DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf,
                            buf.length);
                    socket.receive(packet);
                    String message = new String(buf);
                    System.out.println("Recieved: " + message);
                    if (message.equals("end"))
                        return;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
                }
            }
        }
    }.start();
}

public void sendMessage(String message){
    byte[] buf= message.getBytes();

    DatagramPacket packet= new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
    try{
        socket.send(packet);
    }catch(Exception e){
        System.err.println("Sending failed. " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

不会引发任何异常。
我在一个临时网络中。
我使用的是MAC OS X 10.6，而我的伴侣使用的是kubuntu 11.04。这是 ifconfig 输出：

请简单一点，我是新手:)
