Does Windows CE OS provided with the Graphics Client Plus support multicasting? I set up a socket to receive multicast data using sample code that I found in the Embedded Visual C++ (3.0) help files. I compiled and ran the code on the ADS platform. The software ran but never received any of the multicast data. But when I ran the same executable on a different vendor's StrongARM based Windows CE platform, it successfully received the multicast packets.

Dana, thanks for your post and supporting background off-forum. It looks like the driver for our onboard Ethernet doesn't currently support multicast messages. We're looking into it and will see how we get it supported in upcoming builds.

You'll probably find that PCMCIA Ethernet cards will work fine, as they use their own drivers. If you've got a plug-in Ethernet adapter that you used on the other CE device, you might try using it in the GC Plus.
