I'm having an annoying problem that has teased me for over a month now. Hope somebody can help... The problem is: Any time I try to establish a socket listening to a multicast group, I get an error message saying "cannot assign requested address". (I'm programming in Java) I have multicast support compiled in my kernel, and it seems to work when pinging 224.0.0.1. Nothing special happens when I SEND to a multicast address. I have tried to configure my system in various ways but nothing seems to help... I'm beginning to be pretty pissed of about the matter. I have added route to 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 (using loopback since I do not have a real network connection). I have also tried to route the address (230.0.0.1) I used in multicasting. I have ifconfigured multicast addresses to loopback:0 (using aliasing) and added multicast route to that. I have compiled my kernel (2.0.32) with all combinations of multicasting parameteres, with multicast routing on and off... In other words: I have tried everything I could think would help. But no. IT DOESN'T WORK. What the heck can I do?????? -Topi- << http://stekt.oulu.fi/~topiolli >> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
