I can multicast to my own machine without this.

No, ip_forward should be off by default of course. My default routing
tables are :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
138.195.152.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 138.195.152.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
And with this routing tables and if_forward=0, I can multicast a stream
to others machines. You say that you can't do so on your RedHat 8.0 ?

No, it didn't work until I added the forward and the route.<br>
Perhaps it's because of my Intel Etherpro100 or whatever it's<br>
called - I think in the multicast.txt in the kernel it talks about<br>
it only working in promiscuous mode, perhaps this puts it<br>
in that mode? I'll retest tomorrow to be sure.<br>
<br>
Unless of course your gateway is multicast enabled and handling<br>
this all for you?<br>
