Multicast failing on Windows

[rafaelsteil]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with multicasting here: basically, if I have my box offline (not connected to the Internet), jboss cache works fine. However, if I put it online, the program does not see the other cache nodes.

I read somewhere that there are some programs that get "comfused" when there are more than one net interface. I'm not sure if this is the case of jboss cache, but the simptoms tell "yes".

Is there anything I can do / should configure to avoid this problem?

jboss cache version is 1.2.3, default cluster.xml config file, windows xp home.

Ok, I solved the problem.

It was not working because I hadn't set up the loopback interface :D

Use run -b 1.2.3.4 when starting JBoss, or set the interface with -Dbind.address=1.2.3.4 when starting JGroups standalone
