I am using WME to encode a live radio broadcast on a web page. The URL I
have in my .ASX right now goes by the formula: http://000.000.0.00:8080 and
it works on the local network, but outside internet sources cannot connect.

Since the encoding computer is on a network, I need to know how to write out
the URL so that it goes through the network IP and then on to the computer IP
& port.

Is this possible? Am I wrong in my understanding of the connection? Is
there an easier way to connect?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You problem looks like the usual private vs. public address
issue. If the machine WME is running on has a private
address (usually 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x), only hosts on the
private network will b able to connect to it. If you want to
make it visible from the public Internet, you must either
connect it to the Internet directly so that it will have a
public address assigned to it or you must configure your
firewall/router/NAT/whatever so that it forwards incoming
TCP traffic on port 8080 to WME's machine.
