According to RFC1112 (the Multicast 'standard')

---------snip---------
Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, i.e., those with
   "1110" as their high-order four bits.  Class E IP addresses, i.e.,
   those with "1111" as their high-order four bits, are reserved for
   future addressing modes.

   In Internet standard "dotted decimal" notation, host group addresses
   range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
-------end snip--------

I suspect you have copied the address incorrectly. My guess is that it
should be
224.x.x.x
