Can't multicast windows restore

So I have two subnets (eth1 and eth2 on my DRBL server). One subnet is full of linux boxes and the other has Windows. Restoring to the linux subnet with multicasting works great, but I can only get it to restore Windows by selecting unicast. If I choose multicast or broadcast, partclone hangs at "starting to restore image (-) to device". Any ideas?
Actually, it appears as though it's not the fact that it's Windows. I can't multicast across eth2 period. Even if I set it up with Linux boxes.
You have to use cable to link all your ethernet ports, on a switch for example.
The multicast packets will only be sent from one ethernet port, and with the linking by network switch, it can pass to other ports.
