Hi,

Does anyone know whether linux java allow multicast via slip?
Currently, I am running jdk 1.1.6v1 and have a modem (28.8k) running slip.
TCP/IP runs ok but it gave me core dump when I tried to join multicast
group:
   java.net.SocketException: Cannot assign requested address
        at java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup(MulticastSocket.java:153)
        at Client.joinMulticast(Client.java:29)
        at Client.run(Client.java:39)

The code runs fine on a SUN solaris machine and on a linux box with
ethernet connection.
I have fixed ip address although I am running slip over modem.

Thanks.
