How do I stream a video over the net using VLC?

Question

I can stream videos over our local network just fine. I've port fowarded my router to try and stream the local video feed out through our internet IP address, but it's not working.

Example: Local IP is 192.168.100.100 and the IP the router uses to connect to the net is 70.113.158.166 and the port is 1234.

VLC can pick up the stream through both 192.168.100.100:1234 and 70.113.158.166:1234 on the home pc.

I try 70.113.158.166:1234 on a public/remote pc and it doesn't pick up.

Yeah I expected that and set the TTL to 130. I want to stream live material to sites like my myspace.

Answer 1

what setting did you use for TTL? I would use at least 10. there will be many hops between your server and remote client
