> You will want to use multicast. The multicast address range is 224.0.0.0 thru 239.255.255.255. 224.0.0.0 is reserved, so don't use it. Also, multicast has a default time to live (TTL) of 1 hop, so it will be limited to devices on the same subnet. I don't know if FlightGear handles receiving multicast, tho. > > Jonathan Polley > Ooops, should have been a bit more expicit. The machines are running on a private LAN that supports my 747 sim. All four machines require FG data. While two machines require a full set of data (plus what I've added from JSBSim) the remaining two require a smaller subset and I'll probably add a fifth to run the MCDUs which requires even a smaller set. Plus there is additional data using the opengc protocol which is also redundant. Was not conptemplating the idea of going onto the Internet... Running Debian with linux-2.4.26 on all machines. The network configuration appears okay, in that a "ping 192.168.2.255" from any and all machines generates a response from all machines Regards John W. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
