Well, you can verify the bindings by doing a "netstat -an" while the two receivers are running. If either of the them has a "*" for the address listed with your port, then that one didn't bind to a particular group address, but rather INADDR_ANY. You can also use strace or ltrace (with some filtering, if it's too much) to see what arguments you're getting to the socket, bind and send system calls, which may also help. +-DLS -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
