But, everytime I try to run sd, I get 'IP_ADD_MULTICAST: > Can't assign requested address'. Multicast is added by default. MROUTING is used if you plan to run the multicast router on your machine. what ethernet card do you have? The 3Com 3C509 did not support multicast at that release, but a patch has been ported recently. We use SMC 80x3 with multicast at 2.0-950210 and beyond snapshots. > > One of the multicast wizards here said my kernel doesn't have > multicast support.

We have so many snapshots running here, I have several times pulled on a new kernel onto an older binary distribution machine and saw the multicast error. The last release I dared to run VAT on (and special kernel source patches are required) is the 2.0-950210, because the 2.0-950322 release did some sound configuration changes. The change may be only cosmetic, but I have so far been cautious to upgrade those machines. --mark.
