VLC a.k.a Video over LAN player is an amazing little Swiz knife for video playback. The new 0.9 series is terrible as it has a lot of bugs and makes even a simple task such as video streaming a little difficult.
I have used the last stable version of VLC Player 0.8 series for this tutorial. That would be VLC media player 0.8.6i, you can download it directly from this link

(The folks there maintain every version of every free software.)

Not that you have the required stable version of the older beautiful VLC 0.8, your screen should look something like this
Streaming a File on to the Network

click on File-->Open File

• You will get something like this

• Use the browse option to find a file that needs to be played on your other computer from the PC.Since this file will be played on another PC, tick the Stream/Save option. You could as well simply follow the graphics.I have uploaded a file called the India moon mission. The field "Customize" will be filled automatically by vlc.
  

• Now we come to the toughest part. Setting up the network. A Streaming that takes place to one particular computer is called Unicast, if the streaming is to a number of computers it is a multicast. The ip address assigned for a multicast transmission inside a network is 255.255.255.255 according to the specifications of ip address allotment. Normally we would require only a Unicast. Choose the options as shown. Enter the IP address of the computer to which you want to stream the video. Inside a network it is usually in this range 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.255 or 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, the ip address of the computer can be found by typing ipconfig in the command line of any windows computer.

• Press OK and lo! you are streaming your first video on the Web/Network. You could have chosen RTP(Realtime Transmission protocol) instead of UDP(Universal Datagram Protocol). RTP is better suited for media but most people never use it. You are better off starting with something that works.

Recieving the Streamed Video/Audio

On the computer on which you wish to playback the file you just begain streaming. Do the following on the Destination computer.



Leave this setting to the default. It will always have the following values. What we are telling the computer is that we are getting a stream of data on the network and that the player has to fetch it and put it out on your screen

That's it . Enjoy the video or Audio that you just streamed

I quote from the above link

"Hello Members and all our guests,

This is to inform you that ietBugs.com is soon going to start a new module called "Prank Calls" for all the members and has recently circulated an SMS/Audio prank call for trial purposes (09371272497) and is currently fooling hundreds of people around.

This is the first entry for ietBugs.com Buggy Brains Buggy Ideas contest.

We want to apologies in the first place, the only objective of this call is to test our new application and bring a new series of such applications, like birthday wishes, happy anniversary, and many more.

We hope you liked the testfire and might have already got an idea what it is all about. Once again sorry from ietBugs.com team if you were offended with the Phone Bhoot Prank. Also we wish that all our members treat it as a part of humor and not offensive. You all must have watched Mtv Bakra and shows like that, so we hope this is not something which is happening for the first time but yes for ietBugs this is a new experience and our application will be quite different in terms of functionality and usability.

Fun is a part of life, and making some one fool is even more funnier then the term itself. So friends you can send this number to your as many friends via sms and make them fool but don't forget to let them know about the truth later on.

Thanks & Regards,
ietBugs.com Team "


That's it these people were only trying to play pranks on you as they have said. When you call the number you will be verbally abused in-order to be safe do not call such numbers without proper verification
