This is due to win32 wanting to bind to a specific interface when in 
multicast receiving mode. When no interface is specified, it binds to the 
default one (you can set the default interface used for multicast with the 
"route" command).

VLC also has a config option that allows you to specify which interface you 
want to bind to when in multicast mode ("--iface-addr foo" where foo is the 
ip address of the chosen interface). It is a lot more handy than removing 
interfaces ;)

I'll add this info to the FAQ ASAP.
