Hi Steve,

We have a cross over cable connecting both the machine (so no switches between 
the boxes). We dont have any firewall / iptable rules which prevents packets on 
interface. What we see is that ARP packets with mulitcast ip-address 
(226.94.1.1) on the wire, on both the machines. 

Sure if we figure out the issue I would let you know.

Regards,
-Sajeev

Sajeev,

My guess is your switch is not configured for multicasting.  This is the
commonly shipped configuration for high end Cisco switches and some
other brands.  I suggest working with your switch vendor to determine
the proper settings, but here is some information you might find useful:

Which brand and model of switch do you have?

Another common problem is that your operating system has a firewall
installed.  You could turn this off or enable the proper rules for the
port and udp multicast.

If you determine the exact issue please let us know what it was and the
resolution so we can update our faqs.

Regards
-steve
