The BBC are currently trialling multicasting the Olympics. This requires multicast and IGMP to be available. As far as I can make out, in 2.0.8 at least, all multicast addresses are filtered out and, to my naive eyes, can''t be re-enabled.

Ok... Two questions then: firstly what causes these messages Aug 27 16:11:02 grgate kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=62.3.82.18 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=32 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=29218 PROTO=2 Aug 27 16:13:07 grgate kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=62.3.82.18 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=32 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=35592 PROTO=2 and how do I enable my firewall to accept them? I looked in the archives but there isn''t mention of IGMP. I presume that once I am a member of a multicast group then other addresses will start to fly about?
