well i never figured out the problem but i found a workaround.

you can use FTPUse to mount the ftp server as a local drive, then share that drive and access the files as smb. the only flaw ive found with this is that i cannot get subtitles to work correctly, but at least ive got the video.

http://www.ferrobackup.com/ftpuse/ heres a link to the program, its really easy to use.

its really nice to know im not the only one. did you change any settings with your router or wii internet settings? i had changed nothing at all, it just suddenly stopped working.
also, wiimc does not time out after 30 seconds for me, i get the error message after several minutes, seems close to 10.

i tried to stream some video again today. the first time wiimc hung at initializing network screen, so i turned off the wii and tried again, and it worked, successfully streaming, so i restarted the wii again and tried, and again it worked, so once more i restarted, and then it could not initialize the network. so 2 times out of 4 it worked. and it should also be noted that this network connection problem is not limited to only wiimc but every channel and homebrew app that uses the internet.
