You must send the packet to port 0 of the destination. The dest address is conformed by the address in the upper 4 bits and the port in the lower 4 of the char. So if you put address = 6 you are saying -> host=0 port=6 and you must send to host=6, (...) (21 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
