At a guess, I'm assuming that when you call InetAddress.getByName("localhost"), you are getting the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

What you actually want to do is to have the socket bound to INADDR_ANY, which you can apparently achieve by creating your DatagramSocket like so:

socket = new DatagramSocket(SERVERPORT);
