UDP multicast group on Windows Phone 8

Question

OK this is one I\'ve been trying to figure out for a few days now. We have an application on Windows Phone 7 where phones join a multicast group and then send and receive me

Answer 1

Have you ever tried joining another multicast group? Because 224.0.1.1 seems to be in use as of IANA assignments. You find all of the here.

Maybe on Windows Phone 8 some service is tighter bound to listen to messages coming in (e.g. a network service that is running in kernel mode) and they are never forwarded to you.
