schafdog's questions

I would like to get ucarp to work over a wireless (802.11g) interface, but the packages is never seen on the wired end. The setup looks like this: Box1 (10.0.0.11, wireless) -- AP -- (10.0.0.13, wired) Box2. The boxes are running Fedora 14.

Ucarp uses multi-cast over IP protocol 112, so the problem could multicast in general (novice on that area). An example of testing multicast could be helpfull.

Tried different AP without luck.

Interface configuration:

box1:

wlan0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:D3:66:D7:29  
         inet addr:10.0.0.11  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
         inet6 addr: fe80::225:d3ff:fe66:d729/64 Scope:Link

box2:

Box1 (wireless) seems both announcements (tcpdump on proto 112):

11:29:25.077027 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 255, id 29951, offset 0, flags [DF], proto VRRP (112), length 56)

Box2 only sees it's own.
