Hi Alan,

$ host 224.0.0.251
Host 251.0.0.224.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Not sure what I am suppose to find.

This is why I ask (VLC's doing):

kernel: Vlan-out Everything Else IN= OUT=eth0.5 SRC=192.168.254.10 
DST=224.0.0.251 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP 
SPT=5353 DPT=5353 LEN=36

eth0.5 is a virtual Ethernet too, not hooked to the Internet.

And port 3535 UDP?

$ grep -i 3535 /etc/services
ms-la           3535/tcp                # MS-LA
ms-la           3535/udp                # MS-LA


Thank you for the help,
-T
