Whoops, that was the Dutch version... see

This JAVA applet tests for multicast connectivity. If your network has 
  multicast support, it will report so, if not it reports that also. The 
message is that your connection is _not_ multicast-enabled (towards the 
rest of the world).

We have tested this applet in several locations of know and unknow 
multicast supported sites and it proves to work fine. As far as I know, 
the applet does NOT use any windows specific calls and should therefore 
report multicast connectivity correctly (based on JAVA).

It will misreport as you have a server multicasting your MAN/LAN, while 
the applet tries for multicastgroups on the researchnetworks/internet.

I think this is as far as I can help you.

Regards,
Bart
