Here is the network:

If I have my 2 devices connected via Ethernet, I can multicast from one to another. When I try and do the same multicast but using wireless, I get no video showing up on the client machine. I also get no VLC showing up on the client when I go from the server connected to the MK through Ethernet, and the client connected via wireless.

Hope this makes more sense.
