<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have this set up correctly on an isolated network, so maybe I can help. You don't give any information about your network. Is there a router between A and B? Do you control it? Are you using vlc on both ends (to send and play)? If there is a router in between, what side of it is your network analyzer on?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>some quick things to check are:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Are you using the --ttl option on the mpeg server? something like:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>vlc -vv mympeg.mpg --sout udp://237.2.12.2:1234 --ttl 12</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Is the client linux or unix? Sometimes I have needed to set the client NIC to promiscous mode for the mulitcast traffic to be recieved. man ifconfig if on linux for help with that.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If this doesn't help, send more details on you setup!</FONT>
