We just want to send to the group but we're not calling setMulticastInterface(), the code above works fine with just Ethernet. Is there any advantage to this? Or do you mean we should use setMulticastInterface() to setup two QUdpSockets and tie one each to Ethernet and Wifi? >If you're sending to hosts in your local network only, you should use IPv6 >because then you can simply set the destination interface in the scopeid of >the address. Unfortunately we don't support IPv6 yet. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
