I'm trying to get a FreeBSD box (2.1.0-SNAP) running some of the MBONE tools. (sd, vat, nv, etc) It doesn't seem to want to do it, though. If I look at the ethernet device (ep0) I see ep0: flags=863 mtu 1500 inet 128.143.71.29 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.143.71.255 ether 00:20:af:ed:e7:61 No matter what I do, though, I can't get it to say MULTICAST. Of course, the loopback is multicast, but I don't think that helps. lo0: flags=8009 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 I have an mrouter on my subnet, and I have recompiled the kernel with the "options MROUTING" in it. The ep0 device works fine. I can even do point-to-point links with nv, wb, etc. If I try to run sd or vat, I get: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP: Can't assign requested address I don't know what that means. Of course, Van Jacobsen isn't going to give me any source code, so I can't go look up what that means, either! He won't even write frigging man pages! Grrr. Ok, I feel better now. Anyone have any ideas?
