Very Computer

I am having problems with the 2.4 Kernel (SuSE 8.2 and RedHat 9). The
code below sends a multicast message and works fine on RedHat 6,
RedHat 7.2, SuSE 7 and SuSE 8.0. On SuSE 8.2 and RedHat 9 it returns
the error "Network is unreachable"

Can anyone help please?

Best Regards

Keith

I don't recall making any unusual configuration changes.

I will have a look at my configuration.

Thanks for trying it.
