[erlang-questions] Struggling with multicast udp send

[Rapsey]

This is copy paste from my server:
Dest and Source are IP addresses (Source is IP of local computer, can be
{0,0,0,0})

{ok, Sock} = gen_udp:open(0, [{reuseaddr,true}, {ip, Source},
{multicast_ttl, P#tspar.ttl},
                                                 {multicast_loop, false},
binary]),
inet:setopts(Sock, [{add_membership, {Dest, Source}}]);
