My router has the broadcast address on the subnet-specific address (10.0.255.255) and does not handle 255.255.255.255 at all, so I fixed that.
My IDE cannot edit NetBeans form files, where the code was inserted, so it possibly would have to be moved there too.
I barely know Java, so my solution might not be optimal, the method is taken from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29238644/how-do-you-get-hosts-broadcast-address-of-the-default-network-adapter-java
I also experience a huge startup delay while the app sends broadcast packets on all 7 interfaces on my PC, not sure what can be done about that.
