The code that fails looks like this:
// use setsockopt() to request that the kernel join a multicast group
  mreq.imr_multiaddr.s_addr=inet_addr(netrec_rx_multi_group);
  mreq.imr_interface.s_addr=htonl(INADDR_ANY);
  if (setsockopt(netfd.rec_rx,IPPROTO_IP,IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,
                                           (char*)&mreq,sizeof(mreq)) < 0)
    {
    lirerr(1268);
    return;
    }
Since MAP65-IQ works the nework must be working properly so the only
error I can imagine is that netrec_rx_multi_group is wrong.
Press N on the Linrad main menu and check the receive address.
Presumably it comes from a file par_netrec_ip in which you have
stored the address that MAP65-IQ uses.
(I just discovered that the dialog message is incorrect and
says par_netsend_ip but the error message that follows if 
par_netrec_ip is not in place should give a hint...)

If you type something like 10.0.0.278 into par_netrec_ip, Linrad
will just use that string without testing anything and that would
cause the 1268 error. (No number must be larger than 255 in an IP 
address)

I have added this info to the 1268 error message and corrected 
the dialog. Please tell me if the above info helped.

The address that Linrad extracts from your file is shown in the
Network setup menu. Check that it looks ok.
