firstly , im a bit of a newbe so all help is apreciated
ive got windows server 2003 running windows media services
ive got it to broadcast a playlist of songs , ive then got a embedded player
in my website ,
it wokrs ok over my LAN using the address that the announce tab in media
services gives me which is
mms://SERVER/music
so i tried to get it to work over the internet , i read some forums that it
needs ports forwared on the router
so ive forwareded the TCP port 1755
and the UDP Port's 1024 -5000
im not sure what else there needs to be
obviously i was going to need my public ip to connect which is 86.28.146.142
so i gave that a try and the addresses ive treid are as follows
mms://86.28.146.142 ( doesnt work)
mms://86.28.146.142:1755 ( doesnt work)
http://86.28.146.142 ( doesnt work)
http://86.28.146.142:1755 ( doesnt work)
86.28.146.142 ( doesnt work )
86.28.146.142:1755 ( doesnt work )
The firewall on the server is DISABLED so the ports arnt being blocked there
if i connect to in the embedded player
the message goes " connecting to media " " ready " and does nothing
