I am encoding using WME to a Windows Media Server using "Push". I sometimes
move from site to site so I end up on different networks and firewalls.
What is the default port on my client computer (i.e., the one I am encoding
with) that WME is using? Is there anything I have to tell the network admin
at the new site I am at that will enable him to make sure my streams don't
get blocked leaving the client network on their way to the server?

HTTP by default uses port 80. In this case, the port is set by the server since
it's listening on that port for the push from the encoder. So the SA for WMS
would set the port, the network admin would allow it through the firewall, and
you'd tell WME which port to use by adding it to the push URL
(http://yourserver:port). |
