FreeBSD runs up to J2SE JDK 1.3.1p7 natively.  As far as the error...

Well, it seems to be a problem with permission sending broadcast 
packets.  Assuming "permission denied" is in fact the real error, here's 
what the send() manpage has to say about it (provided, I would assume, a 
firewall is not in the way):

The J2SE 1.4 and below API specifies that SO_BROADCAST is supposedly 
automatically enabled, but I get the error in both 1.4 and 1.3, and
there's no firewall in the way.  get/setBroadcast() is introduced in the 
1.4 API, even though SO_BROADCAST sends are always enabled, so I still 
don't know why java is complaining.
