I am sure this is dead but if I understand you correctly you can get the listener script here: http://search.cpan.org/~lds/IO-Socket-Multicast-1.05/Multicast.pm
to work on windows. I had the same problem I can send packets using multicast but listening doesn't work I get Unknown Error returned from mcast_add('233.0.25.1') . I tried using mcast_add('233.0.25.1','eth0') , but of course get an error about not having IO::Interface installed and to use the ip address instead so I then tried mcast_add('233.0.25.1','192.168.1.30') , '192.168.1.30' being my local ip address, and got the Unknown Error error again. I posted on another site about the issue as well:
http://perlguru.com/gforum.cgi?post=38027;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;guest=4901380
but didn't get any replies. It seems like this modual has been completely neglected on windows, and from the post under the bugs section and whatnot it seems like no one is going to work on it anymore. I am just hopeing I am doing something wrong and can get it working without having to wait for/fix the modual. |
