[OLSR-users] Usage of BMF plugin

[Erik Tromp]

Deborah,

Which application are you running on C ? Often, applications must
be configured to be listening on a specific network interface
(e.g. eth0, eth1, tun0) besides specifying on which IP-multicast adress 
to listen to (e.g. 224.55.66.77). In your case you would have to
configure it to listen to tun0.

Regards,
Erik
