Could you confirm that messages are sent in BETA3, and whether or not they are sent in BETA5? When you subscribe to a multicast address, you do so on a particular interface with a particular subscription. The multicast API allows you to either use a default interface based on not specifying a particular interface IP address, or allows you to specify an interface by IP address. Could you tell me whether or not your application attempts to specify what interface to use, and if there are other interfaces on the system that (potentially) a multicast application might select instead? If you use netstat -ia, it will show you all interfaces and current multicast address subscriptions. Could you show me the entries for your application running in BETA3, and any similar entries you can or cannot find in BETA5? Thanks, Robert N M Watson
