We are experiencing connection timeouts and hangs with the use of the MulticastSocket class. Why is this happening?
Some of the Tru64 UNIX OS patch kits have been known to cause failures for the MulticastSocket class. The failure is mostly a connection timeout but could also cause a hang. Listed below are the Tru64 UNIX patch kits that cause the problem. If you have installed one of these patch kits, a portion of the offending patch kit can be removed without having to remove the entire patch kit. Also, patch kits that contain a fix to this problem are available.
