I'm trying to run Asset UPnP media server under Wine 1.1.27 on Ubuntu 8.04. The problem is that media clients on the same network don't appear to SSDP discover this media server. The server itself *does* advertise itself fine on the network though (but as this is fairly infrequent, then any clients can be hanging around for quite some time before they spot the server). I've tried other Linux-based media servers running natively on this particular Ubuntu box and all is good, and I've also run Asset fine on a Windows-based PC on the net. Running a Wireshark trace it appears as if the Wine-based Asset server is not responsing to client SSDP requests. These requests are multicast. So my question is - are there any known issues regarding multicast with apps running under Wine? Can they respond to multicast requests? I've had a look through the various Wine options and I can't see any obvious settings...

[Wine] Re: Possible multicast problem with UPnP Media Server
Oh - I've tried the network suggestion in the Wine FAQ as well (change /etc/hosts entry for fqdn hostname from 127.0.1.1 to the correct network-connected ip address), no luck. There's no issues with non-multicast operations from the server - once the clients finally discover it. all works great. It just seems to have issues responding to multicast on the network.
