I have a Ethernet client bridge on ddwrt router configured as a client bridge. However multicast packets do not traverse the bridge making things like iTunes sync and other automatic discovery things not work. Is there a way to make multicast packets go over the link to **ALL** clients on the subnet and not just clients on the side of the bridge the multicast packets originate from

Mutlicast and ARP do not traverse these fake bridge modes; there is no known workaround that I have found. This is a known issue that will probably never be fixed. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

No, I do mean multicast, and that is coming straight from an email between myself and BrainSlayer in which he also repeated something about removing said fake bridge mode options completely if people can't handle configuring them. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
