Default How do I chase down who is doing a multicast?

Nah, I'm just arrogant enough to think that I know everything. My

Do you know how to convert this to a .reg file?

To disable LLMNR:
1) winR gpedit.msc
2) Local Computer Policy
-- Computer Configuration
-- Administrative Templates
-- Network
-- DNS Client
3) Click on ´Turn Off Multicast Name Resolution¡ and set it to
´Enabled¡


Unfortunately I'm at home almost all the time I'm on Usenet and my home
desktop PC is running a Home edition of Windows 7 x64. No gpedit.msc
there; however, all polices are registry entries. In the past, I
remember Microsoft providing an Excel spreadsheet of policy settings and
their equivalent registry locations. So did the search:

which found:

I download the .xlsx file, opened it, and searched on "multicast". The
"Turn off multicast name resolution" setting was the first hit. It
tells you the registry key and data item you have to change its value
along with lots of descriptions. Once you figure out the registry and
add the data item (if absent) to your desired value, export that
registry key to have a .reg file to stow away for later reuse.
