Actually, you probably get "no multicast routing compiled into this system" -- having multicast *routing* compiled in has nothing to do with joining groups. If you *do* need multicast routing, because you want to run mrouted, then you need to rebuild a kernel with "options MROUTING". But normal host multicasting is enabled by default. Bill
