Hi,

A server on my network broadcasts packets to a multicast group 224.0.0.111, port 1080 (whatever).

Do I need any extra libraries to join a multicast group using Blitz? If so, which Blitz package is best for achieving this?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer....

-tm.

B+ is very good for this. I am working on a program similar to this now. I am using a TCP server/stream with GUI interface. (Listboxes, 1 button, and etc.

There is an example in the code arcs... Once I'm finished with mine, I will put the source code on the code arcs. (Be warned, the code is messy...)
