[Maat, Steve]

Thanks for the offer... 

Do you have any experience with multicast bridging?

Since our network guys are still having problems getting multicast to work,
I will probably configure/test the node using the multicast bridge first. I
am confident we will get our multicast problems worked out, but I also want
to make sure we have the bridge option available just in case...

I am not quite sure what I need to do beyond following the instructions in
the Multisession Bridge Document
(http://www.accessgrid.org/agdp/howto/use-msb-connect-virtual-venues/1.0.6/h
tml/book1.htm).

Any tips/tricks?

Thanks

Hi Steve,
   I'm Chuck Patrick from Jackson State University. Currently, we have two
fully
operable and functioning AG Nodes. If I can be of any assistance, please let
me know.
