I have a VirtualBox VM running openSuse and an application that is meant to multicast data. I also have an application that is on the same machine running on Windows 7 that is meant to receive the multicast.
The receiver is not receiving the data and I am not sure where the problem is. I know the receiver and sender applications both work as they have been tested elsewhere.
This is what I have done so far:
sudo /sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth3
The server application is using the following multicast address and port: 224.0.0.25/6787
Is there something I need to do on the Windows 7 machine to enable multicast to be received? Or is there a problem with the addresses I am using? Or that I am running in a WM? Any help would be appreciated
NAT
(which allowed internet connection), andBridged Adapter
(which did not). There are a few other choices, likeNAT Network
andInternal Network
that I have not tried yet.
