There might not be a frewall between the sender and receiver, but 
apparently you have a router there that (for whatever reason) does 
not relay IP multicast packets.

Because of this, you should use unicast streaming instead.  Use 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" or "live555MediaServer" as your server, and 
"openRTSP" (or a media player, like "VLC") as your client.
