Windows Security Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples - v3.01, by Dr. Herong Yang
All Hosts Multicast Group, 224.0.0.1, on Vista Systems
This section provides a multicast tutorial test on Vista systems. Applications can no longer use the All Hosts Multicast Group, 224.0.0.1. If you try, it gives an 'error setting options'.
After tested my MulticastListener.java on a Windows XP system, I did some tests on a Vista system. The result is different:
C:\herong>netsh int ip show joins Interface 1: Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 2 Yes 239.255.255.250 Interface 9: Wireless Network Connection Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 0 Yes 224.0.0.1 Interface 8: Local Area Connection Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 0 Yes 224.0.0.1 C:\herong>java MulticastListener 224.0.0.1 Herong java.net.SocketException: error setting options C:\herong>java MulticastListener 224.0.0.3 Herong Sending out: Greeting from Herong Received: Greeting from Herong C:\herong>netsh int ip show joins Interface 1: Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 1 Yes 224.0.0.3 0 2 Yes 239.255.255.250 Interface 9: Wireless Network Connection Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 0 Yes 224.0.0.1 Interface 8: Local Area Connection Scope References Last Address ---------- ---------- ---- --------------------------------- 0 0 Yes 224.0.0.1
