Broadcasts On OS X

Hey,
  Today I was trying to get broadcasts working for a simple (very simple)
chat program for use on a LAN that sends using broadcasts.  I was able to
get the Windows version working fine, it sent to the IP 192.168.0.255 and
all the other clients received it (PC and Mac), but I can't seem to send a
broadcast on my OS X machine.  I am sending it to the same address, but no
one receives it.  I ran the shell command ifconfig to divine the broadcast
address (which was the same as the one the PC was using), but it didn't
work.  Is there a different address I should be sending it to?
