I'm *slowly* moving forward on this, but still am not sure of the underlying technology/protocols... If I run liveCaster (multicast) on our network of ~4000 computers...do all those 4000 computers see packets? For instance, assuming that a computer is doing absolutely nothing network wise, but were to watch their ethernet, would they see a pretty constant '56k of traffic' hitting their machine? Marc G.
