How the fuck do you do it!
Help me please!
Every guide I find is for the 0.x versions of VLC, I'm using version 1.05!

stream from VLC or watch a network stream?
To stream from, use Media > Streaming, add a file then follow the wizard through to select transcoding options etc
Watch a stream, Ctrl+N

Nope, not a sausage...
Tried it though my router, both firewalls switched off, can ping and browse to shared from one computer to another, tried it with a crossover cable and manually assigned addresses... not a sausage...
Tried UDP, HTTP and MMS...

Use the VNC of host and open file using VLC. If not the default player, hold down shift and select open with.

you tried opening up another copy of VLC a opening the stream (127.0.0.1 and assigned IP) on the 'streaming' system?
I've just tried HTTP and it works fine between my PC (ethernet to router) and laptop (wireless) - Once you've selected the file to stream and press 'stream', click next, add a HTTP destination and leave the ip address as 0.0.0.0 (doesn't bind it to an ip address then) and the standard 8080 port, select your transcoding options (i tested it with MPEG 2 and 4, H264 was crashing VLC), press next, then press stream.
Edit - no idea WTF pugnut is talking about, VNC?!

What happens when you double click the file? Any errors?
