Did Knots say VLC started properly? Make sure VLC is detected in settings and it's the latest version. Also make sure the path doesn't contain non-ascii characters. These should all be documented in the wiki.

The path to VLC looks correct in settings but there is no listenting ip address in there. Does that need to be the ip of my laptop?

Ok I'm on Win 7. How exactly do I close it with ctrl-c?

How did you start the server then? If you installed the git version, you can open cmd, cd to knots folder and run ruby\bin\ruby.exe knots.rb to see the output. If you used the installer, there should be a script inside knots folder that runs it in terminal. Make sure you close the server first from the menu or use task manager to close ruby.exe and vlc.exe.

Ok I have allowed VLC to run through Win 7 with all ports allowed but am still getting the same problem.
When I telnet from command prompt: telnet localhost 4212 the connection fails but am not sure if windows 7 allows that or not.

Close server and run that command in cmd, but append "-vv" or "-vvv" to the end of command and check if VLC gives you any hints why it doesn't start.

I get this when trying from the Laptop or the N900.
