Streaming usin
g VLC requires 2 computers: the first computer functions as the VLC
streaming server, and the second as the VLC media player. The player receives the
data steam generated by the server and converts it into a visible image. Both
computers should belong to the same IP address group.
Ping in both directions to test whether both computers can "see" each
other.

perfectly stream video and audio files in your network, but are merely provided to
