Network streaming from PC?

[Clive2]

I enjoy very much using VLC on my iPad by viewing media files which I transfer to it by direct connection to my PC.

I am often told that there is no such thing as a naive question, and thus I am encouraged to ask the following.

The documentation (wiki) states:
Introduced in VLC for iOS 2.1, Local Network discovers and lists servers found on your local network. At present, this includes UPNP media servers and FTP servers announced via Bonjour / Rendezvous. Further options will be made available in future releases. Depending on the server capability, you can both stream and/or download the stored contents.

My question is, what do I have to do to make this possible using my Windows PC, or is it something that does don apply to Windows PC based systems?

It's only for iOS, for now.

Thank for the information. The app is nevertheless excellent.
