Halflife Servers

Freaky?

Im making a class for get info from halflife servers using a udp socket. the strange thing is I have sent the command to the server format of

ÿÿÿÿinfo

The problem is converting this into bytes to send over the net causes a strange problem I would expect the first byte to be the number 255 except is not its 63 sending the packet works but im in an endless loop waiting for a response.

If I change the first 4 bytes to 255 manually there isn't a problem and I get a response.

Any ideas as im baffeled or being stupid
