Broadcasting

[fates-w at attbi.com]

I can stream to a single IP ok but why doesn't broadcast 
to subnet working? Maybe I am doing something wrong. 

Per the videolan-quickstart-3

"just replace IP_client with IP_broadcast, which is the 
Broadcast IP address of the subnet, in the command line 
of vlms"

I am using 192.168.x.x IP addresses for my home network
I am using vls and I changed the IP in vls.cfg like so 
and restarted vls and started a new telnet session to 
vls server: 

# ================== Channels configuration 
==================

BEGIN "fates"    #broadcast test
  DstHost = "192.168.0.255"
  DstPort = "1234"
END


Here is my network info:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:5A:58:B0:FE
          inet addr:192.168.0.6  Bcast:192.168.0.255  
Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  
Metric:1



Do most networks cards and switches work with 
multicasting?  I am going to try that next. I have 
linksys switch. I will check with linksys site later
