I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. You can multicast with or without tag switching/MPLS. I'm not a Windows person, so you'll have to help me out. Is the Norton tool the source of the multicast -- in other words, does it take unicasts and replicate them? If so, why do you think the problem is in the network rather than the host? >We having been running into problems >with doing multiple windows XP imaging that can only handle up to 8 >computers at a time.
