Here is my setup:

                               Linux Box with two NICS
PC1 router NIC(eth0)---NIC(eth1) router
 PC2
192.168.1.100 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.111 192.168.4.114 192.168.4.1
192.168.4.100

Linux Box:
---------
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

PC1 

----
ping 192.168.4.1 - works
ping 224.0.0.1 - only get reply from 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.111
PC2
----
ping 192.168.4.1 - works
ping 224.0.0.1 - only get reply from 192.168.4.1 and 192.168.1.114
The Linux box does not seem to forward multicast packets. Can someone
shed any light on this?
Thanks,
