[AG-TECH] unicast + multicast

Hi,

My immediate thought would be that the machine hosting the unicast bridge is at fault.  This could suggest a (admittedly poorly designed) firewall operating on the machine so that the multicast traffic is being blocked (although the block appears to happen at some point into the meeting).  Can you tell me:
1) What OS is the unicast bridge running on?
2) Is the unicast bridge a standard AGTk bridge server?
3) Is there a firewall on the unicast bridge machine?

Andrew :)
