VLC Couldn't Find Computer - FIXED

mmumme · 02/02/2011, 11:15 PM

My iphone couldn't find my laptop.
I did the firewall checks and that didn't help.
I tried opening ports, no change.

The Fix came when I disabled RTS/CTS on my router.
Something about the handshakes of RTS/CTS was keeping the computers from identifying each other.

Works like a charm now.

And, as a side benefit, I can now reliably see the other computers on my network.

Thought I'd share.
Peace.

what router are you using? (so I know who to warn)
