QAbstractSocket::connectToHost(), receive broadcast UDPdatagrams?

[mastupristi]

Can I use QAbstractSocket::connectToHost() to receive broadcast udp datagrams?

If I try the unmodified broadcastsender/receiver all works and netstat is:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
udp6       0      0 :::52337                :::*                                12185/./broadcastse 
udp6       0      0 :::45454                :::*                                12172/broadcastrece

I modified broadcastreceiver as follow:

//! [0]
    udpSocket = new QUdpSocket(this);
    udpSocket->bind(45454, QUdpSocket::ShareAddress);
    udpSocket->connectToHost(QHostAddress(QHostAddress::Any),0); // <- added line
//! [0]

Now it does not receive broadcast datagrams, but it receive correctly unicast datagrams.

the netstat command report is:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
udp6       0      0 ::1:45454               ::1:*                   ESTABLISHED 11488/broadcastrece

I wonder why it seems different local address, and where am I wrong.
