NICDRV test04 fails saying driver cannot receive ICMP reply from the peer

Question

Hi,
I am running NICDRV tests and while running test04 check multicast support, I fail with the error:
driver xxx cannot receive ICMP reply from the peer.COuld anyone tell me why is this happening?
For full report:
stdout| STRATEGY:
stdout| - Add multicast route and join multicast group
stdout| - Receive ip_multicast traffic from the client side
stdout| with 1 multicast group.
stdout| - Send ip_multicast traffic to the client side
stdout| with 1 multicast group.
stdout| - Join multiple multicast groups, and receive multicast
stdout| traffic of multiple groups from the client.
stdout| - For WiFi drivers, ping 224.0.0.1 multicast address for
stdout| 10 seconds and verify the traffic using snoop.

Well, I finally figured it out.  When trying to receive text messages from my iPhone pals, I would get a failure message and a suggestion to update my profile.  When I selected that option, the phone would sit for a long time trying to connect and then fail.  I went into my settings and was able to force an update.  Lo and behold, all of the backed up text messages started to down load.  It seems as though when I received the texts from my friends, the system was aware that I had not received then and they were held somewhere in the cloud.  Then they were continuously resent until I fixed the problem at my end.  They all downloaded over night and the problem has been resolved.
