I'm trying to get udp multicast data using sockets and c++ (c). I have a server with 2 network cards so I need to bind socket to specific interface. Currently I'm testing on another server that has only one network card.
When I use INADDR_ANY I can see the udp data, when I bind to specific interface I don't see any data. Function inet_addr is not failing (I removed checking for return value for now).
Code is bellow. On a server with one network card, my IP address is 10.81.128.44. I receive data when I run as: ./client 225.0.0.37 12346
This gives me no data: ./client 225.0.0.37 12346 10.81.128.44
Any suggestions? (Hope the code compiles, I removed comments ...)
