Here's what tcpdump sees (just one packet):

The script works great for me, although it finds less hosts than the other
targets-ipv6-multicast scripts do.
Initially I though it could be a Mac OS X thing, but based on then I saw
Dells, and Sonys among the sample Niteesh sent, so it's probably not that.
I just tried to change the first byte in the payload from 00 to something
else and it gave me an additional host.

I'm not sure what's happening for you David? Maybe someone else on the list
could give the script a go and report back?

I don't know what it is either, but the message "NSE: Error while
parsing IPv6 extension headers" looks like a bug.
