What have you done up to now? Did you tried the examples given in the
VideoLAN documentaion ( http://www.videolan.org/doc/ )?
The simplest way to stream a video file is to type:

  vlc -vvv --sout udp/ts:IPADDR --ttl TTL SOURCE

at the station with the ip-address IPADDR, then simply invoke vlc like that:

  vlc -vvv udp:

IPADDR has to be replaced by the ip-address of the client which should
receive the stream, TTL is the number of routers the video-stream has to
pass plus 1 and SOURCE is the source-descriptor like
file:/path/to/video/file.mp4 or dvd:/dev/dvd at 1 or something similar.
If you wish to use multicast video-streaming replace the IPADDR with a
multicast address of your choice (see documentation about multicast) like
224.0.10.10 and invoke vlc at the client station with the command line:

  vlc -vvv udp:@224.0.10.10

This should work for the beginning. The parameter -vvv should give a lot of
information so you may get a hint where an error could be.

Regards,
Felix
