Event Details

Source: MSMQ
Version: 6.1
Symbolic Name: MULTICAST_BIND_ERROR
Message: The queue cannot listen/bind to the multicast address %3. Error %1: %2

Resolve

Change the multicast address

The multicast address that is specified in the event is not valid. Enter a valid multicast address for the queue that is using this address. IP multicast addresses must consist of four bytes, and they must lie in the class D range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. However, only certain ranges of addresses in this range are available for sending multicast messages. For more information, see Internet Multicast Addresses (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=94475).

For more information about setting up multicasting queues, see Specify or View Queue Multicast Addresses and Ports (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102330).
