[Xorp-users] Simple configuration

[Iain Grant]

Ok I am new to this and have been scratching my head a lot...

I have a Linux Fedora 2 server with 2 network cards. eth0 and eth1.
eth0 is on a world network, eth1 is on a private network.

I want to be able to bridge multicast packets between the two ports. I don't
think that should be two difficult, but the dents in the wall and my desk have
proved me wrong.

I have modified the simple multicast client and server examples kicking around
in the internet so the server is listenening on my eth1 port. I don't seem to
receive any packets from the client sending 'hello messages'.

I have also got ethereal running, listening to traffic on eth1, but I am not
seeing any multicast messages.

Can someone please help me, my desk and wall solve this.

Thanks in advance

Iain

This is what my config.boot file looks like
