Firewalls? |
|
|
Hello,
I have created a Windows Media servier that is based on ASP.NET and delivers
streaming audio and video to visiting clients. I have set a static IP for
the Media Servier and have a different one for the web pages themselves. I
have dns routing from a Domain Support group. What I have noticed that when
individuals who are behind a corporate firewall are not able to listen to
the Media - Not able to retrieve it at all. There firewall stops it -
probably due to the media being steamed from a static ip. How can I work
around this? Would it be best to combine the ASP site with the Media Server
Site (Windows Server 2003) - if I did this would it solve the Problem?
www.something.com - provides for the web site.
mms://23.224.254.22 - privides the steaming
If the IP rounting was sent to the IP for both the ASP and MMS would this
fix the problem with corporate firewalls?
Any suggestions and information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

I am not much of an expert in networking(especially
routing) so bear with me if I am not accurate.
The main reason could possibly be the port being used for
streaming blocked at the firewall - that is more likely
reason than your static IP (as long as your IP is on the
internet and is reachable).
You can enable HTTP streaming on your server (go to server-
| Quote: | Properties->Control Protocol-> "WMS HTTP Server Control
Protocol"). Those clients who have the firewall blocking |
MMS or RTSP traffic will now roll over to HTTP and connect
through HTTP to your server (HTTP ports are typically open
to traffic at the firewalls). Please check:

v/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?
url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/prod
docs/en-us/wmserver/wmshttpservercontrolprotocol.asp
Hope this helps.
Ravi
PS: However, if you have IIS and WMS installed on the same
machine, you will need to do more. I can point you out to
info on that if that is what your setting is.

I had a similar problem
I was running IIS and WMS 9 on a windows server 2003 (on 1 machine)
I had one static IP address, no dns or url
I ran IIS on port 80 and wms 9 on a different port
friends on corporate networks coud see the web page but not the video
The problem was their firewall was blocking all incoming packets except those coming from port 80
I fixed the problem by getting a second public static IP address and running WMS from it on port 80
It fixed the problem
Ravvi is right also --- you then have to enable http streaming and specify port 80
I hope this helps
