SUMMARY
You cannot route multicast Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) packets with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Windows NT does not support the ability to route multicast packets, or to act as a multicast TCP/IP server.

Windows NT can receive multicast packets as a client for use with a program such as Microsoft NetShow, but it cannot act as a server or router of multicast packets.
