    Using the same port for 2 UDP Multicast groups

    I habe a program, that can send and receive UDP Multicast telegrams. When I open the socket then I bind my multicast group address and the local port to a specified networkcard (our PC has 2 network cards). Now I have a special constellation:

    Our PC has 2 network cards. Multicast group 1 shall use card 1 and group shall use card 2. As long as both groups use different local ports it works fine. But when both group want to use the same port number then I can receive and send telegrams only through the first group that was created. For the second one I don't even get a FD_READ event at all.

    Code:
           SrvAddr.sin_family         = AF_INET;
           SrvAddr.sin_port           = htons( (WORD) nLocalPort );
           
           SrvAddr.sin_addr.s_addr    = inet_addr(strOwnIpAddress); // bind multicast group socket to a specified networkcard
           
           // If bind socket to port failed
           if( bind( hSocket,
                          (const struct sockaddr *) &SrvAddr,
                          sizeof(SrvAddr) )               == SOCKET_ERROR )
           {
                 WSACloseEvent(ptChannel->Overlapped.hEvent);
                 closesocket(hSocket);
                 WSACleanup();
                 return ceUdpErrBind;
           }  // END OF If bind socket to port failed
