I have configured the kernel for multicasting, it reports the following at startup: ... NET3: Unix domain sockets 0.13 for Linux NET3.035. Swansea University Computer Society TCP/IP for NET3.034 IP Protocols: IGMP, ICMP, UDP, TCP Linux IP multicast router 0.07. ... I am not sure if it is a gated problem or a kernel problem.
