Topic: Help please!!

[João Vaz Martins]

I have one e-smith 5.6 with update patch 4 installed, two ethernet boards one for external connectivity and other internal. All the ISPs that I can connect to do not alow Multicast over the Internet. So the only way is having that trafic over one private VPN PPTP tunnel starting on the client aplication and ending on e-smith internal network.

I have a specific aplication that needs to broadcast UDP multicast packets to several Client aplications.

Those Clients Access over a PPTP VPN connection and should receive the multicast packets from the server aplication.

I do not know if e-smith 5.6 is able to route multicast over ppp0 device?

There is a need of any specific configuration on e-smith?

I have the same problem with an application using the broadcast adress . But not it's not through VPN, it's trough a remote access using an e-smith 5.5 as a RAS server.

I believe a RFC stop broadcast through touters. Is there a way to configure my SME so that broadcasting over a RAS connection will be possible ?
