Sorry, I have been fiddling around with this for ages but I still cant get it to work. So could someone please give me step by step instructions to how I should solve this. What I want to do is just forward som multicast traffic. Here are my details...

Client IP: 192.168.1.226
Server's Internal IP: 192.168.1.1
Server's External IP: 172.10.115.161
Multicast server range: 239.192.10.x

I want to forward the traffic from ip range 239.192.10.x to my Client with ip 192.168.1.226. I Have installed mrouted (kernel supports multicast). mrouted will display all multicast traffic, it will also report when I try to open a stream from a ip but the traffic doesnt seem to get through. I think it might have something to do with my server sending my clients internal ip. Also, should I tunnel the traffic or should I just use the normal mode? I have tried both, without success..

Please help, I am going crazy...

I am now thinking it has something with the Time To Live, could it be that when my server picks it up it has reached the end of it? If it has can I set mrouted to forward it anyway? I know this is against the multicast protocol but it must be possible, I dont see any reason why it wouldnt...

I had that problem as well. I was using VLS to stream, and the default TTL is 1, when I changed it to 32 it worked fine.

What OS are you using mrouted on? I'm having problems getting it to compile on Fedora Core 3. Currently I'm using a program called "smcroute" which only does static routing. Which is great for the proof of concept we are doing, but the problem is that we will have a huge routing table that smcroute cant handle.

Thanks for any info.
