Hello,

  I'm trying the 'Extended Multicast' example from the book and the
two UMLs cannot ping each other.  I'm afraid I'm missing something
but then, I'm doing exactly as per the book.

  Host is Fedora Core 6, x86_64

  kernel64-2.6.22.12-am1 umid=mc1 ubda=mc1,FedoraCore6-AMD64-root_fs
mem=128M

  uml_mconsole mc1 config eth0=mcast
  OK

  uml1# dmesg
  [...]
  [42949411.190000] Configured mcast device: 239.192.168.1:1102-1
  [42949411.190000] Choosing a random ethernet address for device eth0
  [42949411.190000] Netdevice 0 (5e:11:b6:5c:17:b3) : mcast backend
multicast address: 239.192.168.1:1102, TTL:1

  uml1# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up

  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr D6:8B:68:5F:06:2A
            inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::d48b:68ff:fe5f:62a/64 Scope:Link
            UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1


  The the other UML:

  host# kernel64-2.6.22.12-am1 umid=mc2
ubda=mc2,FedoraCore6-AMD64-root_fs mem=128M

  host# uml_mconsole mc2 config eth0=mcast
  OK

  uml2# dmesg
  [...]
  [42949414.260000] Configured mcast device: 239.192.168.1:1102-1
  [42949414.260000] Choosing a random ethernet address for device eth0
  [42949414.260000] Netdevice 0 (ba:ca:65:7d:33:36) : mcast backend
multicast address: 239.192.168.1:1102, TTL:1

  uml2# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 up

  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr BA:DE:13:F6:55:73
            inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::b8de:13ff:fef6:5573/64 Scope:Link

  uml2# ping 192.168.1.1

  PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
  From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

  uml1# 

  PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
  From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable


  Note than no interface was created on the host.  Should there be one ?

  Host is Fedora Core 6, x86_54

  I did not see in the book example that anything else should be
made in order for these two UMLs to be pingable between each
other.  is there something missing ?  Am I missing something ? Must the
host be configured in a certain way to allow these UML to see each
other without any host interface created ?

Thanks for any suggestion/comment.

Cheers,

Al
