It can not be! 24.x.x.x is not even in the multicast range of addresses. 
  So it is no valid multicast address and therefor you won't be able to 
use it as multicast address period.

Look at:

http://andrew.triumf.ca/pub/linux/multicast-FAQ
http://www.d-bell.dircon.co.uk/cafe/Lht1.htm
for more information on HowTO setup a multicast capable pc.

Multicast addresses range from 224.0.0.0 till 239.255.255.255 and use a 
netmask of 240.0.0.0. To play multicast from one computer to another you 
need to add this route to your server computer:

/sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0
