Sorry, I am not familiar with the Access Grid venue server and how
it uses multicast so I cannot provide you specific details how to
fix the problem.

To test the multicast delivery only, start a test sender and a test
receiver on the hosts that will be a multicast sender/receiver
respectively within the Access Grid framework. I'd recommend to use
the MGEN software for your testing:

If each host is suppose to be a sender and a receiver, then test the
multicast delivery in both directions.

P.S. The xorpsh output (the DOC document in the attachment you sent
me) was partially corrupted so I couldn't read all of it; though, I
couldn't seen anything unusual from the output that was readable.
Anyway, in general please use plain ASCII for such output instead of
DOC.
