I've always been doing my streaming from my embedded liveMedia boxes
to my PC, and they all been tied into my company switch on the
192.168.202.xx subnet (255.255.255.0 mask)</font></blockquote>

always picked up the stream properly, and have had no
problems.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">When I moved
my boxes to a local switch on my desk that I plug into my PC using a
separate NIC, I've been having problems since. The boxes are all
assigned (including the PC NIC) on 10.0.10.xx subnet, with
255.255.255.0 as the mask. I have an encoder box, and a decoder box
both of which run liveMedia (server and client), and the receiver can
receive the stream from the encoder without
problems.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">However VLC
player on my PC seems not to be able to play the stream anymore - it
connects to the stream and I can see some initial information about
the stream (h.264 stream, it can get the SDP info and all that fine,
most probably since its TCP) but it can't seem to play the stream; I
used ethereal, and I can see the UDP packets floating
by</font></blockquote>

<div>Does *any* multicast traffic reach your destination network from
your source network? Perhaps you just have a multicast routing
problem between them?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If so, then maybe you should switch to using unicast streaming
rather than multicast (e.g., use "testOnDemandRTSPServer" as
a model).</div>
