It depends on what you are trying to do.

If you want to connect to a unicast stream, then you don't need to specify an interface at all because vlc will listen on all of them by default.

If you want to connect to a multicast stream then you'll need to specify the interface you want to listen to. For this you'll have to use the "--iface-addr foo" command line option or the equivalent option in the "preferences" menu. Just replace "foo" with the ip address of the interface you want to use.

Hope this helps,
