[Live-devel] Still failed in receiving data via multicast

Are testRTSPClient and openRTSP linking against ws2_32.lib or wsock32.lib?
In the past I have had problems with multicast when using ws2_32.lib, 
changing to use wsock32.lib fixed it.
I don't know why and didn't have time to try to work it out either.
This was several years ago so the problem might not exist anymore.
