Remember that "testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer" uses multicast to send its 
audio/video RTP stream data.  If the client (player) is on a network that's 
not reachable - via multicast - from the server 
("testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer"), then it won't be able to play the stream.

If your client and server *are* on the same multicast-routed network (e.g., 
on the same LAN), then please also check to make sure that your Windows XP 
computers' firewall is turned *off*.

If your client and server are not on the same multicast-routed network, 
then you will need to run "testOnDemandRTSPServer" (which streams via 
unicast) instead.
