vlc 0.8.5 streaming on linux

I am using vlc 0.8.5 on slackware with a linksys camera WVC200.

My streaming command on the server is where .176 is the camera.
/usr/bin/vlc -I dummy -V dummy --quiet --http-reconnect http://192.168.1.176/img/video.asf --sout #std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8100}

I then do the vlc http://serverip:8100 and my first client plays just fine everytime.

However my second connection sometimes plays and sometimes doesnt.
If after it doesnt play I manually execute the above command it plays.

What can be going on here? Why wont my second vlc connect every time.
All are running 0.8.5 vlc slackware.
