You're adressing 4 Billion adresses that way!
If your network is 188.12.0.0, broadcast to 188.12.255.255.

Do I understand right - your program hangs until it get's an respond?

DatagramSocket.setSoTimeout(int timeout)
          Enable/disable SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in milliseconds.

could help.
