Hi All,
I have posted a mail some days ago describing a problem when I tried to
configure multicast in VC2.2.
After studing the problem, I have realized that the problem is in the
kernel, where multicast is not enabled
When I execute "sysctl -a | grep mc_forwarding" I get the following answer:
net.ipv4.conf.lo.mc_forwarding = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.mc_forwarding = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding = 0
The problem is that I am not able change these values:
When I tried to edit the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/mc_forwarding file I
get a extrange error (although I have set as 777 all files and folders in
the tree).
I have never seen something like that, it seems as some process is just
accessing the file. Something as reading the file to start a process. No
idea!!
I have also tried to set up the right values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file,
net.ipv4.conf.lo.mc_forwarding=1
net.ipv4.conf.default.mc_forwarding=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding=1
but after restarting the router the values are again set to 0.
The last attempt to change the values has been just to try to force values
in /etc/sysctl.conf to be re-read
/sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
Again, no success at all.
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thanks in advance...

I get the following problem when trying to configure multicast in a VMware
virtualize OFR. I have work properly with Multicast in V2.0 but now with
V2.2 I have got this error message when I try to commit the configuration.
