I don't know if I understand your situation correctly but you need an IP 
setup in order to do IP (including multicast). If you say it works with 
DHCP how is your setup without DHCP? Does your NIC have an ipaddress at 
all? The routing table you showed is from with DCHP right?

If you do use a manual setup like 192.168.5.x does it work if you add a 
route to it? Like 'route add -net 0.0.0.0 dev eth0' or something like that?

Rg,

Arnaud
