Hello.
I’m trying to develop some client/server software.
I’ve found some problems that can be reproduced ussing broadcast/multicast examples: Running both in the same computer, works. But, if server is in a Windows 7 machine with more than one network interface, broadcast/multicast paquets don’t reach client software. It’s a known issue:

It’s talking about broadcast, but it’s the same with multicast. For sure, Unix-like machines handles correctly broadcast writing datagrams (writes it in all interfaces), but I’m not sure about multicast in this environments.
I’m tying to work around, but I’m complety confused. I though the solution were chossing the network interface to write datagrams to. But I found no function to that. There is setMulticastInterface, but it’s just for reading (must be bounded).
Someone can help me with it?
thaaaanks!
