This does not help at all.
Question for all: Try to rebuild the senario, as I have already tried
several other senario from " Developing IP Multicast Network VI, author
Beau Williamson, Cisco Press" and I am unable to get them to work
properly.

By the way: If you want to know everything about multicast. I can
recommend the book.

Looking forward
Met vriendelijke groet/ Kind regards,
Sijbren

        Subject: Re: Multicast Sparse-Dense Mode

Pinging from R1 means the packets will be process-switched. When pinging
from R4 the packets on R1
will be fast-switched. Configure "no ip mroute-cache" on the outgoing
interface on R1 and then see
if you can ping from R4. If not, put an ip igmp join-group on the
outgoing interface on R1 and see
if you can ping from R4 and get a response from R1.

There have been several multicast fast-switching bugs where sometimes you
don't even get an
interface in the OIL when you have a join-group command on that interface.
 As a workaround, what
will often work is removing join-group and remove pim, let pim timeout
then put the commands back
on. If that doesn't work, do the same thing again but once the commands
are off the interface do a
"shut", wait a few seconds, do a "no shut" and put the commands back on
the interface. You should
then see the outbound interface in the OIL. This isn't something you
should have to do, just a
workaround due to a multicast fast-switching bug.
