Thanks, but I seem to remember a message indicating that the RFC's "expired" and the multicast addresses have been re-purposed. I'm not sure about that though - it may have occurred in a [bad] dream. However, your earlier point about public routers forwarding multicast datagrams is well taken, so I don't think multicast will work for the joe-beer-drinker or mom-and-pop crowd (which seem to be the main audience for these webcams). --Bruce _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
