Re: Windows 2000 problems


Why do you think that you need special libraries or include files? The 
choice of IGMP versions would be made in the Window Sockets space. If you 
are trying to use Berkley socket symantics then you will be sadly 
disappointed. The Multicast symantics of Windows is very different. Check 
out the Platform SDK under Windows Socket Version 2 API it will lay out 
the semantics. If Microsoft follows its usual semantics it will allow an 
identical program to run IGMPv2 on a NT 3.51 - Win2k machine and if you 
run it on XP then boom you get IGMPv3. I have not seen any Berkley socket 
commands for the IGMPv3 host implementations (looked at the BSD and Linux 
ones) that can not be mimiced in some way with the Windows Socket 
interface. There is a few books on the subject specifically for Windows 
they may be worth looking into.
