Hi boys.... another trouble:
I have found (with some small trouble for now) how i can obtain a streaming from my PC to my notebook.

Now i have read on internet i can add on my PC a WEB INTERFACE for control the play on my PC... i have try this:
1) On my PC i have start a Streaming via UDP to ip of notebook
2) On my PC i select Tools -> Add Interface -> Web Interface
Now, on my notebook i have open the Stream with videolan but when i try to open the Web Interface (From IE i open the ip of my PC 192.168.1.2 with port 8080) i obtain 403 Forbidden.......

Can you explain me how i can resolve ?

Important notes:
----------------
* This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
recent to work correctly
* The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
edit the ".hosts" file.
- On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
/usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts
- On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts
- On Mac OS X, you can find it in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts
and respectively in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts

Ok, i have found a solution and now working all... but in the host file it's possible to insert a range of IP ??
Example i need to insert all ip 192.168.1.x x equal 2 to 10 for example ?

#192.168.0.0/16
that should be same as 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
