I have a CCMS running in a remote company lab, and when running mRcv.exe on the same remote machine it listens to the multicast stream and displays the data.

However, I need to listen to the multicast stream on a local pc connected to the lab network.

I can't listen directly to 234.5.6.10 (mRcv.exe doesn't get any data this way when running locally).

How do I listen to the remote RSM ?

(I reached this post and found no answer:)

I've proxied the RSM stream before. You need a machine on the local network (or, more specifically, within the multicast broadcast space). I've used 'socat', which seems to work well (although I haven't tested it against heavy traffic). I also wrote a utility to do some lookups and generate a more RTD-like stream including names and such which isn't too much work. Either way, you'll always need something within that multicast space so if that's your roadblock I can't really think of a solution other than to say RTD is unicast (but has some other network challenges, since it needs to establish connections in both directions like active FTP) and you could use that.
