Download SMBconf free from MacParc to easily set the default version of SMB to use. I have few media files in my Mac which I want to stream on my Android phone.

2) Run the Setup Helper

If you use the default firewall on your system, then the helper will configure that correctly.

If you use your own firewall application, then you'll need to make sure it allows VLC to communicate through the firewall.
