Try ifconfig -a. The output should tell you if you are running multicast. The
netstat -g is checking your multicast routing tables- which unless your box is
a multicast router you should not have. If your box is a multicast router, then
you will need to compile the option into your kernel.

Hope this helps,

Corey
