VLC ver 1.1.4 (Fedora13) cannot open network stream

[kwong]

Downloaded VLC 1.1.4 onto 2 laptops running Fedora13. I already have another laptop running an old version of VLC 0.8.4a. When I stream a video from one of the Fed13 laptops running VLC1.1.4 to the laptop running VLC 0.8.4a the video is displayed with no issues (I'm using udp://@:44444).

When I stream from one Fed13 to the other Fed13 nothing is displayed on the client side. Using tcpdump I can see that the 'video' is making it to the client but for some reason it will not display. I'm using udp://@:44444 and the video is in wmv format.

Any suggestion on how to fix or go around this problem? I've tried rtp as well and it doesnot work.

Thanks

Firewall, security framework, that sort of things.

I don't believe its a firewall problem because I can see the video stream at the VLC client side when I do a tcpdump.
