VLC - SAP-Multicast?

Hi there!

Right now, I set up my airport extreme by using Bridge-mode on ethernet and DHCP on wifi.
But I've one little problem: By using wifi, SAP-multicast in VLC isn't working. (On ethernet it's working fine.)
I think the airport extreme-firewall is blocking the SAP-Cast. And because SAP isn't using only one port, I can't imagine how I've to configure the firewall to get SAP to work.

Could anyone help me solving my problem?

Thanks

In bridge mode, all traffic move across the ethernet and wireless network, and there is no firewall.

Also in bridge mode, the DHCP is disabled, I don't think you can turn it on manually. Are you running you own DHCP server?

well. here's the funny thing:

In my airport-configuration "share-one-ip" is activated. no bridge-mode.
But in may Macbook is DHCP only activated on the wifi-connection.
+The ethernet-connection of the book is configured with a static IP and it works anyway.+

OK. I found my mistake. I rechecked my connections. My ethernet isn't connected to my airport. - Sry

But my problem stays. No SAP-Mulitcast behind my Airport.
