HAs anyone has a similar problem? Any solutions/thoughts >welcome Multicasting support is in the device driver of the particular network adapter. Look in there and see if you see some. If you don't maybe you can use one of the other card drivers, like the SMC or NE2000 card driver as a template to adding the support into the driver.
