2. I am opening one more VLC player, in that im giving
File->Open N/w Stream->..
Im specifying protocol type: http and im giving URL as http://192.168.2.110:8080

vista has some strange network implementation. you might not be able to create a sever listening for incoming connections that easily. [con|in]sult the vendor

Hi,
Have you tried another port than 8080? Port 8080 often used for web servers like apache tomcat etc. Not that I find it very likely, but maybe the vista people has put a restriction on this port for security reasons.
How about port 1234 (vlc default)?

Hi again,

Try this:
1) Open file and setup http server at 0.0.0.0:1234, use mux=ts and video codec=mp4v
2) connect another client to localhost:1234

i just tested this on my xp station, vlc 0.8.6.f w/o problem

Hi,

I followed your procedure for streaming over http..., but it is giving following error........"Unable to open 'http://localhost:1234'"
I am running Virtual Machine(OBUNTU) in my PC, while doing this..., will that be a problem???????????

hi,
you need to activate the promiscuous mode for the network adapter if you use vmware...

Hi,

Im not using vmware for streaming, for other application im using that. Im performing streaming in Windows Vista.
