Thanks for the idea. Yes, I read something similar in a post related to
multicast in this same forum. However, I am not using windows headers, since
I migrated my code from Ubuntu. I also tried defining the value of
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP myself, and it checks with value 12, just as you say.
However, I still get the error.

I do the binding right after the setsockopt, but the result is the same if I
do it before. In both cases, the setsockopt() returns an errno=22, and the
binding returns an errno=125. It is a real mistery, because I know the IP
interface I associate to the multicast group exists and works, since I use
it without a problem in unicast sockets in other programs.

I have the feeling the problem is in the struct ip_mreg Multic or in
sizeof(Multic), but I cannot figure out why or how to solve it. I will keep
looking into it. Just in case, I post the whole code here:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/socket.h> 
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>


#define SIGALRM 14





void salir()
{
	exit(NULL);
}


int main (void)
{
	int Descriptor, Descriptor2, status;
	struct sockaddr_in Direccion, Direccion2;
	unsigned short Puerto;
	struct ip_mreq Multic;

	Descriptor=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);
	Puerto=12100;
	Direccion.sin_family=AF_INET;
	Direccion.sin_port=htons(Puerto);//Puerto->s_port;
	Direccion.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr("224.0.22.1");//("138.4.32.34");
	memset(&(Direccion.sin_zero),'\0',8);   

	Direccion2.sin_family=AF_INET;
	Direccion2.sin_port=htons(Puerto);//Puerto->s_port;

Direccion2.sin_addr.s_addr=htonl(INADDR_ANY);//inet_addr("138.4.32.34");//("138.4.32.34");
	memset(&(Direccion2.sin_zero),'\0',8);   

	status=bind(Descriptor,(struct sockaddr *)&Direccion, sizeof(struct
sockaddr));	
      if (status<0){
           printf("Fallo al realizar binding, codigo %i\n", errno);
	}
	


	Multic.imr_multiaddr.s_addr=inet_addr("224.0.22.1");
	Multic.imr_interface.s_addr=htonl(INADDR_ANY);//inet_addr("138.4.32.34");
	status= setsockopt(Descriptor, IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &Multic,
sizeof(Multic));
      if (status<0){
           printf("Fallo al aÃadir el grupo de Multicast, codigo %i\n",
errno);
	}




	signal (SIGINT, salir);
	signal (SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);

	
	
	
	

	return 0;		
}


Maybe the error is in some other part. Thanks again for your insight and
your help.
