Multicast question.

[Guest]

Hi,

When I run 2 or more clients on the same
machine, the first client application is receiving multicast messages but not
the subsequent clients.

I'm using the same, multicast address and port for all the clients as
this is the default multicast ip, all the clients automatically register to
this
ip and port number.

For example,

Client 1 - 224.0.0.2 : 14000
Client 2 - 224.0.0.2 : 14000
Client 3 - 224.0.0.2 : 14000

I'm not sure whether we can do this,
As this is the first time I'm working with IP address and Port numbers,
I don't have muck knowledge in using them.

What could be the problem. Kindly let me know.

Cheers,

Naveen.

I think multicast would be...

1.1.1.1:14000
1.1.1.2:14000
1.1.1.3:14000

and a broadcast to 1.1.1.255:14000
