Send and receive multicast messages doesn't work with FF02::1

[ati]

Hi,
i tried to send and receive ipv6 multicast messages (.Net 2.0, C#) and
use the "all nodes" address FF02::1.

But my server app got no requests if i set up the socket like this:

_listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetworkV6, SocketType.Dgram,
ProtocolType.Udp);
_listener.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket,
SocketOptionName.Broadcast, 1);
IPEndPoint receiveEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.IPv6Any,
_listenPort);
_listener.Bind(receiveEndPoint);

// ReSharper disable AssignNullToNotNullAttribute
_listener.SetSocketOption(
SocketOptionLevel.IPv6,
SocketOptionName.AddMembership,
new IPv6MulticastOption(IPAddress.Parse("FF02::1")));

If i use the address FF02::3 all works fine... any suggestions? Where
is my fault?

I think that's because FF02::1 is a broadcast address, you can't really
subscribe a socket membership to it.

Ok, but how can i listen to multicast (broadcast) messages on FF02::1
instead?
