[vlc] Question on streaming

I am trying to use VLC to stream a camera feed.

I can use the command "vlc ../trailer_videos/SharkTale.avi --sout 
'#standard{access=http,mux=asf,url:8080}'
and I can view the sharktale video on windows. no problem.
I am using a centos 4.5 vlc server.

However, then I change the command line for the camera to:
"vlc http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf  --sout 
'#standard{access=http,mux=asf,url:8080}'

and I get nothing on the windows box.

How can I stream from an http source???

Thanks jerry
