IGMP messages seem to be working, but for some reason the freebsd machine is not forwarding packets either way. should i upgrade it to 3.8? if so, can i do that without upgrading the OS? here's what happens when i start mrouted: debug level 2 mrouted version 3.3 installing ed0 (128.194.169.53 on subnet 128.194.169) as vif #0 - rate=0 installing ed1 (128.194.166.4 on subnet 128.194.166) as vif #1 - rate=0 pruning on Virtual Interface Table Vif Name Local-Address M Thr Rate Flags 0 ed0 128.194.169.53 subnet: 128.194.169 1 1 0 querier pkts in : 0 pkts out: 0 1 ed1 128.194.166.4 subnet: 128.194.166 1 1 0 querier pkts in : 0 pkts out: 0 Multicast Routing Table (2 entries) Origin-Subnet From-Gateway Metric In-Vif Out-Vifs 128.194.166 1 1 0* 128.194.169 1 0 1* cheers, tom -- Tom Brown loc: Wiesenbaker 232-E Graduate Research Assistant email: tbrown@vcsun1.tamu.edu Dept. of Electrical Engineering www: http://vcsun1.tamu.edu/~tbrown Texas A&M University phone: (409)-845-5774
