I have VLC 0.8.1 installed on Fedora Core 3. I can play video locally, and I can stream video to a windows machine running VLC, but I can't open a stream on the Fedora box. I get the following messages:

It seems as if VLC is just not seeing the stream. I've used Ethereal to confirm that the stream is being received. Both server and client are on the same gbit switch. I've tried running as both a user and as root. I'm stuck here and any suggestions are much appreciated.

firewall issues perhaps?
VLC definetly isn't receiving a thing.

It can also be that you have multiple ethernet interfaces, which can confuse the kernel as to what path the multicast traffic should take.
