>Sometimes however autodiscovery does not function as you would like,
for example a node might not see multicast traffic from other nodes.
This has occurred with some
PCMCIA ethernet drivers. One solution is to place the interface in
promiscuous and or multicast mode as detailed below:

What you should to then is try to force your NIC

manually.
