Why would you be trying to broadcast to everyone in the world?
Try 192.168.2.255. If it's not on the same subnet it would need
to be a different address.

No it can't. There are only (relatively) few broadcast addresses and
the routers have to support them or it will drop the packets if they
are not link local.
