[vlc] Slackware 9.0, Knoppix 3.2, win2k and vlc udp streams

Giacomo Picconi info at gphosting.net

Hello !!

Problem: I have linux Slackware 9.0 and I cannot play udp streams.

When i try to open an udpstream nothing happens, only the gtk interface 
is shown.
Note that vlc plays local files normally, but not from network udp streams.

On the same machine I have installed win2k and vlc plays udp streams nice.
On the same machine I have also use Knoppix 3.2, and vlc plays udp 
streams nice.

This machine is also used as a gateway (has 2 network cards installed).
Other multimedia softwares on slackware works nice (xmms, xawtv).

It's a lot of time that I am trying to make vlc (udpstreams) work under 
slackware, and I have
tryied all known  possibility (using the slackware binary package, 
recompiling with all dependances,
setting network interface, setting IP address of the card, swapping 
network cards position) but nothing :-(

Can anyone help ?

Thank you
Giacomo
