Hi, we have a multicast server for TV and streamed lectures. I would like to use this feature on my laptop behind an arch box. My friend was able to do so by checking multicast routing in his linksys router. Is there a way of doing this on my machine? I use shorewall as a routing daemon. Thanks
EDIT: This is the protocol we are currently using http://wiki.videolan.org/Multicast

I never used shorewall and don't have a great deal of knoweldge on multicasting so hopefully someone can shed some light on the issue.
I believe, generally, incoming multicast traffic is blocked by default. Therefore, if this is indeed the case you will have to allow for multicast traffic in shorewall. How to do this, I do not know, but maybe it'll give you a hint?

There's a MULTICAST=[Yes|No] switch in the main config file, but it doesn't seem to do the trick I have tried enabling it in /etc/sysctl.conf and still nothing

Yeah, that's exactly what I want

To be exact, the kernel says this:
error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding'
when I try to enable it
