Hi,

All my investigation so far tells me that a java applet can not
receive multicast socket messages, even when sent from
the applet's originating host.

But I have an applet where this scenario would be perfect.

Perhaps there is some workaround I have not yet discovered.
Can you help? Note my applet would have to work on both Netscape
and IE.

Thanks very much,
