for starters, i'll let you know that whether using static or dynamic IPs (eg. DHCP) are not the least relevant here.
what is the rule here, pardon my arrogance, as far as the multicast UDP/IP applies, is that it fundamentally works seamlessly over a _Local_ network segment--yes, this is all about the L as in LAN, literally, no pun whatsoever here:).
in summary, it's supposed to work over network switches but NEVER, EVER across network routers, no matter kind or brand.
so, do not even think making it over the intertubes. it doesn't go that far. not even close.
