This question was asked before here: https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/71813/testing-multicast-problem
But I was pointed here.
I use this tool: https://www.winsocketdotnetworkprogramming.com/winsock2programming/winsock2advancedmulticast9a.html
With turned off Windows Firewall and with turned off ESET Security Firewall.
Using:
C:\2>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration

Question: Why I do not get similar results like here: https://www.winsocketdotnetworkprogramming.com/winsock2programming/winsock2advancedmulticast9_files/winsock2multicast009.png
You first example has -s
at the end of the mcastws1.exe
command:
mcastws1.exe -b 192.168.1.103 -s
where
-s
is Act as server (send data); otherwise receive data
Source: The IPv4 multicast programming tutorial for Windows socket
Try adding the -s
flag to your second example.
