Hi all,

I would really appreciate any help on getting an audio stream out to
the internet. Im not sure how to proceed any further.

Using windows media encoding on one box with another box running
windows media admin and created a broadcast unicast which connects to
the encoder on port 7007, I have saved the asx file onto a webserver. I
have a link on a web page that the webserver is serving that points to
the asx file, which if clicked calls up mms://lanstreamserver/broadcast
as specified in the asx file and plays in media player fine. However
for anybody outside the corporate network they get a cannot connect to
server media player message.

The webserver is in a dmz and there is a pix firewall looking after the
lot.

What is handling the actual passing of the stream?? As I can understand
that an internet users media player wont have a clue where
//lanstreamserver/broadcast is, but the webserver does know where it
is. Or is it a pix port issue??!

I'd be grateful for any advice.


Regards.

If what you are saying is that the FQDN of lanstreamserver is not resolvable
to the client DNS then you will never get this to work from the client
machine in the outside world.

The client clicks on the link on the website and is directed to the .asx
file which in turn opens the clients media player this pulls the url
mms://lanstraemserver/braodcast and tries to resolve it using it's DNS
settings not your webservers DNS settings and as such will fail!
