I see my mulitcast packets coming into eth0 on the box:

root@devstream1:/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/bin# tshark -i eth0 host 224.6.6.6

tshark: Lua: Error during loading:

[string “/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua”]:45: dofile has been disabled

Running as user “root” and group “root”. This could be dangerous.

Capturing on eth0

0.000000 192.168.10.98 -\> 224.6.6.6 UDP 1370 Source port: 10444 Destination port: 11111

0.014040 192.168.10.98 -\> 224.6.6.6 UDP 1370 Source port: 10444 Destination port: 11111

I created a stream file:

root@devstream1:/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content# cat envivio.stream

rtsp://224.6.6.6:11111

I put it in the Startup file:

live/_definst_

rtp

envivio.stream

But the wowza output shows:

ERROR server comment - MediaCasterConnection.connect: Failed to connect[224.6.6.6:11111]: org.apache.mina.common.RuntimeIOException: Failed to get the session[java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable].

My firewall is off and eth0 shows MULTICAST support:

root@devstream1:/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/content# ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 78:2b:cb:08:ad:92

Help appreciated. Thanks.
