i do not want to use routers. i need some software that will not allow broadcast to go out on network, and this broadcast should be listened by applications running on same macine.

i mean broadcast data should be filtered from tcp stack
I thnk you need a softwaare firewall on the machine
try zone alarm

it depends upon what u use to connect to outside network,
if u use router, configure the rules on it.
if u use computer (proxy, multihomed), configure a s/w firewall
