[streaming] How to setup a streaming server ?

Hi,

I've been looking into the documentation of VLC, I've been trying to figure 
out myself but I still do not know how to use VLC as a streaming server.

Here is what I have to do :

- I have an encoder win XP and VLC in location A (dynamical IP)
- I have a server win XP and VLC in location B (fix IP)

I have a file on my encoder that I open in VLC and start treaming it in 
Unicast to my server.

How do I setup the VLC on my server to listen to all incoming demands from 
my encoder, no matter what the IP of my encoder is, and as soon as it gets a 
signal coming to it, it should start streaming it as it is (no transcoding) 
to any client connecting to my server's IP, just like a traditional 
streaming server (Darwin, Helix, WMServices).

Is this possible? If it is, could someone please tell me step by step what I 
need to do?

Thank you in advance for your support,

Adrian.
