Well, it looks to me that your troubles viewing videos from my WEB site are
caused by your firewall settings. I cannot comment on the Microsoft's choice
of ports though which they by default transmit video streams. I hope that
they've heard that there are many firewalls around, yet they've decided upon
what it is now. So below I've provided information about their default port
configuration to save you time searching though logs of your firewall.

To enable a distribution server that is behind a firewall to use the HTTP or
RTSP protocols to stream content from an origin server outside the firewall,
open the following ports.



Ports Description

In: UDP between ports 1024-5000 The Windows Media server uses UDP In ports
1024-5000 to receive data from another server.

Out: TCP on port 80, 554 The Windows Media server uses the TCP Out ports to
establish an HTTP connection (port 80) or RTSP connection (port 554) to
another server or encoder.

Out: UDP on port 5005 When RTSPU distribution is used, the Windows Media
server uses UDP Out port 5005 to send resend requests to another server.





 Note



If it is not possible to open all the UDP Out ports on a firewall, UDP
packets sent by a Windows Media server may be blocked by the firewall and
may not be able to reach the clients on the other side of the firewall. If
this is the case, clients may still be able to receive a stream by
automatically rolling over to a TCP-based protocol, such as HTTP or RTSPT.
However, the rollover will cause a delay for the client receiving the
stream. If you know you will not be able to support UDP streaming through a
firewall, you can decrease the rollover delay by clearing the UDP check box
in the Unicast Data Writer plug-in Properties dialog box. For more
information, see To configure the WMS Unicast Data Writer plug-in.
