MSMQ - Cannot receive from Multicast queues

Question

I am trying to get my head around how multicasting works in MSMQ but I cannot receive messages at all, even from the same machine. I\'m obviously doing something wrong but c

I solved same my problem by other way:

1. Create private queue with multicast address.

2. Create queue in producer by next

   const string QUEUE_PATH = @"formatname:MULTICAST=234.1.1.1:8001"

   MessageQueue mq = new MessageQueue(QUEUE_PATH)

3. Create consumer queue next (each consumer has different name!):

consumer1:

const string QUEUE_PATH = @".\Private$\MSMQ-Task3-Consumer-1";

MessageQueue mq = !MessageQueue.Exists(QUEUE_PATH) ? MessageQueue.Create(QUEUE_PATH) : new MessageQueue(QUEUE_PATH);

mq.MulticastAddress = "234.1.1.1:8001";

consumer2:

const string QUEUE_PATH = @".\Private$\MSMQ-Task3-Consumer-2";

MessageQueue mq = !MessageQueue.Exists(QUEUE_PATH) ? MessageQueue.Create(QUEUE_PATH) : new MessageQueue(QUEUE_PATH);

mq.MulticastAddress = "234.1.1.1:8001";
