All: I am trying to figure out why a client can't see UDP packets generated from my Multicasting server. Here are the facts: Server- - Mandrake Linux v9.1 OS - Perl UDP Socket - DSL/ppp0 interface to Internet - Destination, 234.x.x.x:PortB - TTL = 255 Client (across Internet)- - Java app./socket - Linksys DSL router (DMZ - no security settings for testing purposes) - DSL connection to Internet - Multicast Group added through Java app. Verify- - Ethereal sniffer on both server and client - Packet Length = 104 bytes - TTL verified - frame captured - sent 88 bytes from 207.x.x.x:PortA to 234.x.x.x:PortB The client can't see the messages! Any suggestions of what to try would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Moose
