3Com Officeconnect BBC Multicast / IGMP

Right, this is driving me mad. The BBC are currently running a multicast
service for users in the UK on some ISPs:

Streams here: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/streams.html
Info here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/broadband/info/multicast.shtml

I am on Pipex and have a 3Com ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router
(3CRWE754G72-A) and I can't get it to work! From what I can understand I am
supposed to have some sort of IGMP proxy and open some UDP ports, but I'm
afraid I don't know enough about it.

I tried putting my PC in the DMZ, but it still didn't work I get the
message:

"This server is configured to support only multicast connections. Please
contact the content provider for more information on listening to this
broadcast."

Any advice would be helpful. Pipex aren't much use.

Regards,

Fred

Have you enabled IP Multi-cast to cross the WAN/LAN barrier ?

My Linksys Router has...

Multicast Pass Through: | | Enable |X| Disable

It doesn't have anything like that unfortunatly.

I was wondering if there was any way to telnet on to it and make the
changes, but I don't think it's possible.
