Hello Rajeesh,

here are my suggestions
1) I would test the connection with the program iperf because it is less error-prone than VLC and you minimize side effects, here is an example:

2) The TTL field of your data musst be greater than 1, because Mcproxy counts as an additional hop.

3) Your config file looks like this:

protocol IGMPv3; #IPv4

pinstance myProxy: eth0 ==> eth1;

4) I think in your case it is not nessasary but think of the RPF-check (reverse path filter check). http://mcproxy.realmv6.org/wiki/Startup#a3.Hierarchization

Kind Regards,
Sebastian
