To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 27 Oct 1996 16:46:50 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL25 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The mbone is cool! So cool that I want to get it at home too :-) I have a dial-in over PPP account that uses proxy arp on the server side. The server's ethernet is mbone-aware, and the server machine runs mbone apps just fine. Question: can multi-cast to the client ever work? I've tried all kinds of combos, none of which have worked. And if not, why does tun0 have the MULTICAST flag? What does that mean? If I had a valid, routeable IP address to use on the client side I could set up a tunnel using mrouted... but routeable subnets aren't cheap... I've tried setting up a tunnel to a fake IP address on the client; and the mrouted routing stuff seems to (sortof) work, but nothing shows up in "sdr"... -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
