[streaming] Re: Multicast when no network !!!

[Brian Raymond]

It all boils down to keeping an interface up with you aren't  
physically plugged into a network. Windows uses link state detection  
by default to bring interfaces up and down, to keep the interface up  
all of the time you can simply turn it off. That will let you  
multicast your traffic without being plugged into a physical connection.
