Sense ROM's can't receive multi-cast packets? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since this is the development forum...
I'm writing an application that creates a multicast lock, and then listens for broadcast UDP or multicast packets. works perfect on the motorola droid, and on CM6, but not on any Sense ROM.
anyone have any suggestion?

Shot in the dark: have you tried a custom kernel?

Inbuilt SIP VoIP client working?

Just a quick question, has anyone gotten the inbuilt "Internet Calling" WM SIP client working on the TP2?
I've been reading all of the threads that I can find on this site to do with SIP, VoIP etc... and trying to get the InternetCalling app working on my TP2. I'm currently running Sergio's Cell Pro V11 ROM, but I've also tried it on the NRG Phoenix ROMs.
It seems that no matter what VoIP setup cab I use to install the client and it's constituent parts, no matter what registry settings I alter, and no matter what SIP provider I try, it always ends up at "No Service" after "Searching".
I just wondered if anyone had experience of getting it to work, either over Wifi, or over 3G?
I've also investigated whether the problem is that Vodafone UK block SIP traffic on their network, but I've not come across anything to say if they do conclusively one way or another?
I am getting the same problem, I think I am not using the right SIP server. On one of the tutorials it tells me to use my SIP server. I am with Telus but I don't know what the sip server is.
Same here. I could not get internal SIP working.
And fring is a resource hog. There is another software (talkonaut), but I don't have enough experience on that one.

Help with VPN routes

If anyone is good with linux routing could you give me a hand.
I have my VPN running with VPN connection (not stock android, the vpnc clone). I would like to set up the routes so that anything going through _______.edu runs through tun0 while all other traffic is through eth0.
Is this possible on the droid. And if so, does anyone with routing experience know how I could do it?
Thanks

[Q] Why does the VPN suck in Android?

Does anyone know of a ROM in which the PPTP VPN actually works? I've tried 6 or 7 different roms today and have yet to find one that works. Is this a Google issue, or something else? Surely some developer must have tested this function and can speak to whether or not the VPN works. I recall that in WINMO only a few roms had reliable VPN functionally, Mighty Mike and Silence come to mind. Just to be clear...here is what is generally happening; the VPN connects without a problem. The RAS server displays the connection and shows packets in and out. Some roms will not route one packet properly to the device. Others will appear to work great, pinging remote resources, but as soon as you try to do anything else, i.e. RDP, the connection crashes.
Thanks

[Q] What VPN solution is best/guaranteed to work

I have 2 old PIX firewalls I can use, or I could could use OpenVPN inside WRT, or anything. I have nothing setup yet.
What's the easiest VPN for the EVO to hook to?
I'm running unrooted 2.2.
There is no PIX or OpenVPN support in Android. If you root and download "VPN Connections" you can connect to a PIX or OpenVPN server. I have connected to each. Make sure to read through the bug reports. The version I was using had a routing problem that had to be corrected in vpnc-script.
I've managed to get my evo to connect a winxp pro box set up as a pptp vpn server. but only if I disable encryption on the evo. which kind of defeats the purpose.
Basically, android VPN support is spotty at best. There is an epically long google code thread on the subject.
For the time being setting up an ssh server and using connectbot seems to the best way to securely access remote networks. It's far from perfect but it's the best solution I've seen.
Some people have reported vpn success using custom roms. But they are the exception. And setting up an ssh server is probably easier than tweaking a custom rom, IMHO.
This conversation is over my head, but Logmein Ignition owns my soul.
Thanks everyone.
I might have to root my EVO again(last one was rooted, but had to get a new EVO through warantee)

[Q] Better WIFI hotspot/tether app?

I'm using the tether/wifi app that comes with 2.2 vanilla rom, it sort of sucks, there's no way of adjusting ip range/address and DHCP etc.
The one from HTC sense has a better interface, just wondering if there's another app out there that has more functions in the hotspot app?
