    Hi Neil

       You sure have tought me a lesson - catching me because I posted the
    same message twice. I hope you understand that when someone posts an
    answer such as: "Do a search on Google and read up" it pretty much
    tells me ... Nothing that I didn't know or do before.

       My question is quite simple: Show communication the protocol
    message exchange sequence that takes place during MULTICASTING from
    beginning to end on a Microsoft Media Server at video and audio
    streaming time (including the initilization of the client - windows
    media player), and not the definition of MULTICASTING which is what I
    think you gave me. I understand you are very good at Media matter and
    I am thankful for your answer, but the reason why I am asking this
    question is because GOOGLE is not always the answer (I am sure you
    already know this). Please, don't take this the wrong way - perhaps
    if you could point me out to the right URL rather than just a search
    it would help me much more.

       Regards,

       Jim.

    MY PREVIOUS POSTING:

    "
    Hello,

      I am trying to write a player which can accept play not just UNICAST
    but
    also subscribe to MULTICAST. The problem that I am having, is that I
    don't
    know how the protocol to engage to multicast is initiated and whatelse
    takes places from the beginning to end. Can somebody help me
    understand
    what and how should I write the application to subscribe to multicast.

      Thank you,

      Roman

    I don't know ;-) But probably if you read some of the links in this
    search, they seem to offer excellent background information :
