Has anyone managed to get the programs 'wb' and 'sd' (from ftp.ee.lbl.gov)
running on a local multicast network using FreeBSD? Is there a
step-by-step guide on how to get it working?
When I try to run 'sd' all I get is:
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP: Can't assign requested address
Although according to 'netstat' it does seem to have added an entry
to the routing table:
224.2.127.255 link#2 UHLW 0 0
Although output from 'netstat -ns' shows the following:
igmp:
0 messages received
0 messages received with too few bytes
0 messages received with bad checksum
0 membership queries received
0 membership queries received with invalid field(s)
0 membership reports received
0 membership reports received with invalid field(s)
0 membership reports received for groups to which we belong
0 membership reports sent
Am I just being stupid? I couldn't see anything I should enable in
the kernel config.
Any help would be appreciated....
