[AG-TECH] venue client problems

[Monika Rabarison]

Thanks for the explanation. However I don't know exactly what to do
as I already have a Linux box in the same subnet as the XP. It is the 
audio/video capture computer for the Room Node, so I guess it already 
"listens" to the  same multicast group as the XP. The PIG and the Room 
Node were both in the Lobby, except that the PIG is 2.2 and the Room Node 
is 1.x

Later for your $.02,
Monika
