I'm afraid this is going to be a ridiculously stupid question, you might be able to tell networking is not my strong point, but how can I find the multicast address I am currently connected to?
I was given an application that listens to a multicast address which works fine on one computer, but throws SocketExceptions on another.
I apologise for the vagueness and stupidity of this question but any advice is greatly appreciated. :)

Multicast addresses are identified by the pattern “1110” in the first four bits, which corresponds to a first octet of 224 to 239. So, the full range of multicast addresses is from 224.0. 0.0 to 239.255. 255.255.
Running the command “ifconfig” should show “MULTICAST” on the network interfaces.
The IP address that defines a multicast group is a Class D address (224.0. 0.0 to 239.255. 255.255).
In the Control Panel, go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. From the left pane click on Change Adapter Settings. Right-click on the VM installed Network adapter and select Disable. Now start the stream and you should be able to start Multicast streaming.
If I remember correctly it's something like
netsh interface ip show joins
in the DOS prompt to see what multicast groups are being listened to.
