I don't know what a Roku streaming box is let alone have one. The
only thing that I can think of that might cause this is that I
have installed Plex Media Server in order to play single video
files from my laptop/desktop to my new Sony TV. I've given the TV
a fixed ip address on my home network (i.e. configured my router).
I haven't had any success yet with Plex as it doesn't even want to
see my home Videos folder even though it has permsissions for
Others to access it & files on it have Others' read access.
I've tried using minidlna & failed with it. Any ideas for
another ap to do this job?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry don't know much about DLNA etc. Roku was thrown up by Google for that Multicast address.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I don't understand what you mean by routing in the OpenVPN config.
I haven't put any route parameters in either the server.conf or
the client.conf files. I'm not using a proxy server on either PC
and I only want to use Firefox for secure internet banking. <br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was wondering if you were pushing all traffic down the VPN or similar (redirect default route option), but it doesn't seem important now.<br>

<p>I'm using OpenVPN to setup a VPN server on a
desktop with the client on a laptop also using
OpenVPN. Both machines are Ubuntu Precise Desktop.
All that I want to do is to access website securely
using OpenVPN when away from home by leaving the
desktop switched on. I've followed the Ubuntu
Community Guide for OpenVPN on a Ubuntu Server and
everyting is OK except for a line on the client's
/var/log/syslog repeated many times: shown at end of
this message. Any ideas?<br>

<div>This looks to be some form of Multicast: group address

such, it looks unrelated to OpenVPN. Do you have a Roku
streaming box on your network? or similar devices. Or
it could be some form of zero-conf protocol.<br>
