      hi,

      since there are finally new snapshots:

      according to this: http://cvstrac.pfsense.org/chngview?cn=26831

      the igmpproxy bin file should be /usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy

      but in the latest build(20090105-1233) that file is missing, which leads to the same error message:

      igmpproxy -c /var/etc/igmproxy.conf

      igmpproxy: not found

        hi again,

        since the bin file is finally there:

        i can start the igmpproxy now but sadly either I'm doing something wrong or it has a bug, since its not routing any multicasts all…

        might be related to this debug info from igmpproxy -d

        Debu: About to call timeout 6 (#0)
        Info: sendto to 224.0.0.1 on 192.168.0.10; Errno(22): Invalid argument

        Debu: Created timeout 7 (#0) - delay 10 secs

        I believe i got the firewall routes part right, since there are no blocked entrys in the firewall log…

          Hi,

          I stumbled across the same problem as the6thday, but was able to solve the issue.

          The vital part of his configuration file again:

          
          ##------------------------------------------------------
          ## Configuration for em0 (Upstream Interface)
          ##------------------------------------------------------
          phyint pppoe0 upstream  ratelimit 0  threshold 1
                 altnet 217.0.119.0/24   # T-Home Entertain
                 altnet 193.158.35.0/24  # T-Home Entertain
                 altnet 192.168.0.0/24   # test
          
          ##------------------------------------------------------
          ## Configuration for ipw0 (Downstream Interface)
          ##------------------------------------------------------
          phyint em0 downstream  ratelimit 0  threshold 1
          
          

          In the description for the first interface, it says "Configuration for em0", while you configure pppoe0. For the second interface it says "Configuration for ipw0", while you configure em0. To me it seems you bound em0 to the ADSL connection, so pppoe0. The LAN part, 192.168.0.0/24 has to be bound to another device, which I assume to be ipw0 in your case.

          Please note that ANY interface except pppoe0 and the corresponding network card (e.g. em0) has to be disabled to let igmpproxy work correctly. So if you apparently use the ipw0 interface or any other, you have to disable it in the configuration file with "phyint [device] disabled" - this is mandatory!

          Now the bad news: For me, it made the error disappear, though I still couldn't make it work.

          IGMPPROXY works 100% on my Ubuntu machine for T-Entertain, though I will not give up supporting you guys until the Multicast issue is resolved.

          If I have any news, I will keep you updated - would appreciate if you you guys would do the same.

          Cheers,

          Frank LaVerne

              After checking it with my linux router again, I have to say: What I did was effective, yet quite stupid :) I have disabled my LAN device, so it won't try to send multicast membership queries bump

              So we both are in the same situation again.

              I have read about the problem before here, where you can get quite detailed information on the subject:

              http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/net/2008-06/msg00344.html

              I seriously think that the line

              
              Info: sendto to 224.0.0.1 on x.x.x.x; Errno(22): Invalid argument
              
              

              tells us that the membership queries are not successfully sent to it's destination. At the current moment I assume that the sendto routine that is used by *BSD is different to the Linux one, and therefore might produce a problem, though I better keep my big fat mouth shut after my assumptions made earlier ;D

              I will keep trying and will write as soon as I have news again.

              Cheers,

              Frank

                Hi again,

                iirc the igmpproxy version included in the ALPHA builds is the one from the OpenBSD ports (correct me if I am wrong), which not only I seem to have a big problem with, since it's not working correctly.

                As far as I have read, there is new port for FreeBSD coming up that has been reported to have been tested:

                http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=130174

                Could anybody check this and, if possible, include this version in the ALPHA builds? I would be glad to get my hands on this one for testing, since it sounds quite promising.

                Cheers,

                Frank

                  I have searched files and found similar strings like this in /etc/inc/filter.inc but am unsure if this is the right file to plug into. Where else other than the gui can I create these rules?

                    Ok can everybody try the latest snapshot it has improvements and you can set the allow-opts option under "Advanced options" selections.
                    It is presented as a checkbox.

                      would this work to route multicast through a vpn or am i still dreaming?

                        It should help if you have correct spd for the ipsec

                          Hmm seems still not to work. Some explanation:

                          10.123.104.0/24 -> IPTV Subnet on VLAN8

                            Can you pose a packet trace with tcpdump on the interface that you are supposed to get igmp traffic with tcpdump -i $interface -s 0 proto igmp or without the traffic filter 'proto igmp'.

                                Hmm can any of you try setting the interfaces where multicast should pass in promisous mode with
                                ifconfig $interface promisc

                                and after that start the proxy?
                                If it does not work ok in the latest snapshot which have an update on igmpproxy.

                                      There is a GUI now for igmpproxy under Services -> IGMP proxy.

                                      Please report your findings.

                                        Hi ermal,

                                        first of all: Thanks for all the efforts so far.

                                        2.) The IGMP proxy menu looks nice, but as soon as I want to save a device's configuration (any combination whatsoever), I am redirected to a page saying something like "Page does not exist for user. Logout" - I assume that the configuration file is not written correctly? After that (when I logout), I cannot login anymore and can only reset pfSense to factory settings. So to anyone who wants to test it: Please be aware that your configuration file might be destroyed.

                                        If I can help regarding this matter, please instruct what I should do.

                                        3.) I assume that you have included the FreeBSD patched version if igmpproxy? I have included it in an older ALPHA myself by patching and compiling it on another machine and have transferred it to the pfSense machine. Actually, using the new version manually (due to the webConfig flaw), I have encountered that the ErrNo(22) FINALLY is gone - also with the version that is included in the latest ALPHAs.

                                        So far, so good - igmpproxy seems to work perfect on first sight, though igmpproxy does not report any connection tries from the T-Entertain SetTopBox via IGMP. To be brief: My SetTopBox behaves as if igmpproxy is not running and freezes after 10 seconds of any program start / change.

                                        What I did try then was your hint regarding the promisc mode.

                                        I finally seemed to have succeeded, because the SetTopBox was trying to connect, but still the picture freezed. When I was checking in debug mode, I found the following debugging message which seemed to be suspicious:

                                        "Eliminate compiler warning for field type = 22"

                                        22 …? Sounds familiar ...

                                        Any ideas of what I could do or how I could help to trace the possible error?

                                        Cheers,

                                        Frank

                                          Well if you see even a message like
                                          "Should insert group %s (from: %s) to route table. Vif Ix : %d" before that message than everything should be ok AFAIK.

                                          Even a traffic capture on the lan(downstream) side to know if the group is joined correctly and some traffic is passing should help.

                                          Check you have the allow-opts as is needed on the rules and if you need to permit any other traffic for the service to work.

                                          For the GUI should be ok on next snapshot i forgot to merge something for the parser.

                                            hi,

                                            i'm back to using pfsense and I noticed that now there is a igmpproxy package for 1.2.2 & .3rcX, I assume that the package is based on this thread…

                                            So could somebody please look into this: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,16943.0.html
