Web Interface Not Working With Vista

Postby jeffwelch » 23 Aug 2008 23:06

I have VLC running on my Vista machine wirelessly. I have enabled the Web Interface and I can connect to it locally using <IP>:8080. However, when I try to connect to it remotely, I can't. On the other hand, I have an XP machine connected via Ethernet and I can connect to it just fine. I've disabled the firewall on vista, no luck. Any ideas?

Then you have to do portforwarding.
