Re: Unicast Works - Multicast does not

It doesn't seem to work with Windows Media PLayer V9 either. I have a
network sniffer and captured packets from the client requesting the multicast
session and the streaming server. From the client, I see it sending a IGMP
Report messages to the Mulicast group IP address of the server. On the
server side, I see RTP (Real Time Transport) protocol messages being sent out
to the client. The client still will not connect with the session.
