[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-639) UDP: bind MulticastSocket to multicast address

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-639?page=comments#action_12393522 ] 
            
Bela Ban commented on JGRP-639:
-------------------------------

Actually, if we change 

 mc_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(mc_addr_str); // <=== 

to

 mc_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(mc_addr_str); // <===  htonl to inet_addr !

it works (tested on Linux and MacOSX) !

So now we have to investigate why this doesn't work in Java...

> This doesn't work on Windows, so try-catch it and create new MulticastSocket with a wildcard bind address.
> (2.4.2 is the equivalent of 2.4.1. SP5) - Bela
