receive gstreamer UDP packets in vmware

Question

I've installed Fedora 19 as a guest OS in VMware 10.0.1, which is running in a Win7 host. I send live video from another computer with UDP to host using GStreamer and I'm trying to redirect its packets to guest machine via Simple UDP proxy/pipe (sudppipe).

Using "tcpdump" command on guest machine I'm sure that the packets are received. however, the following GStreamer pipeline dump nothing on guest!?!

[elin@localhost ~]$ gst-launch-0.10 udpsrc uri=udp://192.168.0.103:11234 ! fakesink dump=1

Does anyone know what's the problem?

Additional information:

IPs:

• Host (Win7): 192.168.0.100:50000
• Guest (Fedora19): 192.168.0.103:11234
• VMnet (NAT): 192.168.0.102

sudppipe command on win7:

sudppipe -b 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.103 11234 50000

Answer 1

I finally managed to solve the problem. The problem was due to Linux firewall setting. After disabling the firewall (see here), I am able to receive gstreamer UDP packets in vmware.
