HI Team ,
I am new to IPFS , But went through several earlier Posts and threads which solved most of my Issues .
All thanks to the Forum members

I was able to bring up a private IPFS network and CLUSTER in My Local windows VMs .

But when I tried the same with several windows server VMs , I am getting below error

mdns: Failed to set multicast interface: setsockopt: An invalid argument was supplied.

Steps I did -

  1. Created private IPFS network , by bootstrapping everything to Node0 & updated config file with local Ips .
    2)Updated the Secrete key from .ipfscluster/service.json with Node0’s Secrete key .
    Updated the IP’s of Service.json with my Local machine IP .

You can disable mdns in config, I guess the network config your machines have does not support multicast. (but I don’t really know)

I removed the mdns interval and increased the timings still getting the same .
[WARN] mdns: Failed to set multicast interface: setsockopt: An invalid argument was supplied.

Where in the service.json we mention this parameter ?

And All of them Says [WARN] hope I can establish the network ignoring them as well ?

you need to set mdns enabled to false:

    "MDNS": {
      "Enabled": false
    },

Tried the above still getting same message ,

Tried with “mdns_interval”: “0”, Now not getting any Warning message .

May be it just suppress those message .
Thanks a lot for the suggestions and quick replies .
