In case anyone's wondering, I figured this out. I had been told to install the "Windows Loopback Adapter" from Micorosft, so the laptop would act as though it were connected to a network, thus allowing multicasting. This does NOT work. I got nothing. On a whim, I attached an ethernet card that was not connected to anything -- it had no cable connected and it's not wireless. I also disabled Windows Looback Adapter. And it worked! All the laptop needs is an ethernet card; it doesn't need to be connected to anything. Weird.
