To play a multicast stream:
1.Verify that the desired channel is transmitting to a multicast target.
2.On the Desktop of the receiving client, click 
to open Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player screen appears.
3.From the menu, choose Tools and then Options; the Options screen appears. To define the correct port number, click the Network tab and set the range of port numbers so that your transmitting stream’s port number is included.
4.From the menu, select File and then Open, enter the location of the NSC file and click OK, the stream starts playing.
•If the NSC file resides on the same LAN as Windows Media Player, enter the network drive in the Open URL field, for example: \\PC\shared_folder\File.nsc.
•If the NSC file resides on a web server in a folder called wwwroot, enter the URL, for example: http://shared_folder/File.nsc.
•To start playing, you may also browse to the NSC file's location and drag the relevant NSC file into the Windows Media Player window.
