Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / June 2007Can't hear outside my firewall.
Well, this is my first attempt at setting up Windows Media Server. I don't know how to set it up for outside users but works great inside my firewall. I have opened the port but I think the problem lies with my code on the webpage. <OBJECT ID="WMP7" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"> <PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="mms://192.168.1.103//"> </OBJECT> I don't think the mms://IP should be my internal ip address, but I think maybe to my ISP IP and have my router forward to a port... Does this sound right? If that is right, what port?? Thanks, Tony K >Well, this is my first attempt at setting up Windows Media Server.

Does this sound >right? If that is right, what port?? Yes, you need to determine the external IP address of your router. That would be the IP address to actually publish. You should probably put the WMS machine (or it's private IP address) in the DMZ of your router for testing, otherwise you'll have to open multiple ports incoming and outgoing for this to work. If you do that, the WS box should be hardened and correctly firewalled, you can add the windows media services executable to the windows firewall exception list. This page details the firewall (and by extension, the port forwarding) needed to operate WMS correctly http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx There also seem to be two slashes after the URl, for no apparent reason. You probably want to remove those and replace them with the name of your publishing point HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs >>Well, this is my first attempt at setting up Windows Media Server.

If you're interested, here it is: Starts with an advertisement (just because I can...) Then 10 audio files, starts with almost an hour of Bill Engvall. http://www.kingprogramming.com:81/Listen.aspx Way cool! Thanks.

I >>don't [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 > http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs Seems to work OK when I provide the direct stream to media player (the web stream is non-functional in Firefox, though it works in IE). The missing link is the data / mime type and an inner embed which FF can use - it won't recognise the CLASSID and hence has no idea to look at the param elements for a URL value. You might want to modify the embed code a bit, cause there are no volume controls (which can be irritating to users) eg to <OBJECT ID="WMP7" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" width="320" height="65"> <PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="mms://kingprogramming.com/"> <param name="uimode" value="mini" /> <param name="autostart" value="true" /> </OBJECT> Setting a uimode of mini gets us the controls for the player, and the height 65 pixels lets us see only the controls (without the associated visualisations) It's probably worth checking that in WMP11, which doesn't really support mms apart from as HTTP rollover protocol (and even then, not terribly reliably for many users) You HTH Cheers - Neil >Thanks again Neil.
