I can't get multicast working using the vpn-cubed free edition on amazon ec2
I am attempting to use vpn-cubed for multicast in the ec2 cloud. I set up one manager instance using the free edition, and then set up two windows server 2003 instances as clients. Everything seemed to be working properly for icmp, tcp, and udp. I can ping the 172.31.1.x addresses from each host, and get tcp connections between them as well.
However I cannot seem to get multicast working. I am using the windows resource kit tool "mcast.exe" to test things out, and using a similar syntax it's working fine on my own LAN. I am pretty sure the syntax is correct because it also works locally on a single windows instance in the cloud using the 172.31.1.x interface.
Does the free edition support multicast out of the box? Is there something else I need to do in order to enable multicast?

Inappropriate?Hi Wade,
Could it be that multicast traffic is blocked by local Windows firewall(s) on source and/or destination instance(s)? Note that you may need to explicitly disable Windows firewall on tunnel interface *in* *addition* to disabling it on ethernet interface.
If it's not firewall, please contact us at support _AT_ cohesiveft.com to continue troubleshooting in private.

It does not appear to be a windows firewall issue. I have emailed support to continue troubleshooting. Thank you.
