DVD - streaming video HELP

[ste13000]

I have followed the instructions in VLC 0.8.5 quick n dirty guide .
But am i missing something
Problem i seem to have is :
When I try to connect to >Movie player >File via VLC I get the following
File browser vlc://C:/Movies "it just hangs " and i have to reboot my box.
Why does it show /// when I have typed \\\ (Does this matter).

Also get a similar response when trying to play a DVD (E:\) nothing "Error connecting to streaming server "

Info on setup as follows
Nokia Dbox2 x2i
Pacino v2.1-uk
IP address of Dbox 192.168.0.10
IP address of server 192.168.0.1
Can ftp to it ok. (Filezila)
ping ok even record streaming programs ok (with dbox winserver).

What am i missing ?
Have tried this with Firewall disabled (norton)

Thx in advance for any help /sugestions offered
