Thanks everyone!  I still don't see it in wireshark when I try sending it through my local IP but I'll give it another try using my WAN ip when I get up to NAT.  On the bright side, my simple server is receiving the messages from my simple chat program

EDIT: I see the packet when sending outside my private network
