Myriam, Why do you have to enable multicast on the loopback? Are you running the system disconnected from the network? Normally, that should be the only reason to configure it that way. Beware that you may be masking some other real problem, and when you try to run services on additional machines, things may break.
Don't worry about the message (I presume you're only receiving it when enabling debug messages): http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9911&L=jini-users&P=R25253 Alexander On Mon, Dec 09, 2002 at 09:13:07PM -0500, Myriam Abramson wrote: > > Thanks to everybody who responded.
