no luck with a DSL-300T (puremodem firmware) and dlink DGL-4300.
upnp & igmp enabled.
i get these pop up in the router stats not sure if its related.


and in the syslog
[INFO] Sun Apr 16 04:49:21 2006 UPnP added entry 255.255.255.255 <-> 217.155.x.x:5050 <-> 233.122.227.61:5050 UDP timeout:-1 'Windows Media Format SDK (wmplayer.exe)'

On the net, there seem to be mixed reports about the capabilities of the Linksys WAG54Gv2

I have tried my Linksys WAG54Gv2 with firmware versions 1.01.22, 1.01.27 and 1.02.00, and all have the same multicast performance (partially successful).
With IGMP v2 enabled in the Administration/Management page, I can view multicast video OK in WMP and Realplayer, but after a few minutes of multicast, the router starts dropping packets for all users, ping times go up, and then it stops responding to any traffic on the LAN side. From the LEDs, it looks like it is still receiving multicast packets from the DSL connection. Reboot seems to be the only way of unlocking it.
I would be interested to know if anyone else sees the same symptoms with this router.
[edit] I have done another test, and I find that if connecting to the router via ethernet, multicast works fine, and does not lock up. It does however lock up the wireless network connectivity, so is in practice still useless for me.

I had it working once ( DSL-G604T). but not for two weeks now.

I am trying to get my 1700 working, I also have a 2600 I could try on. Would you be kind enough to send me the whole "sh run" (with passwords blanked) so I can try it here.

Many thanks,

Spencer

Just wondering if anyone had a working config for a Cisco 877W running 12.4(4)T1 Advanced IP Services IOS, while when I connect i see plenty going on in the logging, I still get file cannot be found when trying in realplayer.

Any help or pointers would be appriciated.

Upon some further investigation it seems the pim hello requests I am sending out the dsl line to zen arent being responded to, therefore I have no pim neighbors:

rt0#show ip pim neighbor
PIM Neighbor Table
Neighbor          Interface                Uptime/Expires    Ver   DR
Address                                                            Prio/Mode
rt0#

Although I can see the hello request being sent down my dsl:

06-07-2006    22:11:35    Local7.Debug    192.168.0.1    47149: 047145: *Jun  7 00:42:48.546 PCTime: PIM(0): Send periodic v2 Hello on Dialer0

Could this be a config issue at my end, or is the lns I am on having some issues regarding multicast? I am currently connected to gauss.

Again any help would be appriciated ;)

Hi all,

The reason this wouldnt work appears to be the bridged connection between the wireless and the standard interfaces on the 877W, i removed the bridge and all was well :)

Hope this helps someone in future.

I Confirm this muticast works for

USR SureConnect 9105  software version 1238_042105-2.14L.01A.A2A015i.d15h

However can someone help with my next post.

Yours
Phil

I have this working behind USR SureConnect 9105 when I am plugged directly into it..

However I have a ClarkConnect gateway that I use as a multi-wan gateway.. and behind this it does not work.

[root@gateway ~]# cat /etc/release
ClarkConnect Office Edition release 3.2

Which is essentially core RHEL4 / CENTOS4

I have tried adding
iptables -I INPUT -p igmp -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -p igmp -j ACCEPT

and I have tried adding
route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth3

eth0 disabled
eth1 wan1 (10 Mbps cable)
eth2 wan2 (8Mbps zen)
eth3 lan1 (192.168.0.0/24 gigabit)

eth2 is the DMZ of my sureconnect its address is 192.168.1.2 router address .1

Can anyone help? Can't get my head around it

For those of you who use Cisco, but use ACLs and IOS FW inspect,
I can confirm that the following works (although there may be better ways to implement the ACLs):

ip inspect name fw http java-list 2 timeout 3600

Lots of useful info been posted here recently, cheers all! - I've tried to link to most of it from the sticky thread at the top of the forum. Any and all info about other devices is very welcome.

smapjb:

have tried adding
iptables -I INPUT -p igmp -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -p igmp -j ACCEPT

and I have tried adding
route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth3

eth0 disabled
eth1 wan1 (10 Mbps cable)
eth2 wan2 (8Mbps zen)
eth3 lan1 (192.168.0.0/24 gigabit)

eth2 is the DMZ of my sureconnect its address is 192.168.1.2 router address .1

Can anyone help? Can't get my head around it

I'll have to double check, but the line: route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth3 looks wrong to me.

The problem is that on a traditional router IGMP will not transit more than one hop (by design), so its pointless trying to set up routing rules.
Unless your router will act as an IGMP proxy between the 2 interfaces, or a full PIM capable router you will not be able to get it working.

I would realy love to get this working but I wouldnt have a clue where to start. I struggled enough just to get my current setup working.

I have DSL-300T which is passing all traffic  to   eth0 on a Sun ultra 10 with debian which routes trafic to eth1 for my local network using NAT and shorewall.

If anyone has any idea how to get Multicast working on this setup I would be both shocked and glad to hear it.
