Any ideas? multicast packets are limited to the local network (do not pass through a router). To get the packet to another network you can either tunnel the packet using the DVMPR protocol via the mrouted command or use the PIM protocol via the pimd command -- note pimd is not distributed with FreeBSD nor is it in the ports, but you find it with a search engine and compiles on FreeBSD. Choose the protocol used on your LAN or your ISP's LAN. The kernel option "MROUTING" provides the hooks for the mrouted or pimd to forward packets to the other LAN. Multicast support for the local interfaces are compiled into the FreeBSd network stack by default. --mark tinguely To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
