Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / July 2007Why do I Need a record for windows media server?
I have setup windows media server in windows 2003, published video, and publsihed HTML file using IIS. Everything works in LAN using http://IP ADDRESS if I configure a PUBLIC IP and put it outside of my LAN, can't watch from different computer. It sounds like Media Server need a HOST record on the network to be able to play. WHY? I should be able to just HTTP://HOST-IP to watch the video.

No, it doesn't require a DNS entry. Make sure you've added the media services executable to the firewall exception list in server 2003. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx#Window sFirewallConfig There's lots of other useful information in that document too, which you should read to ensure your firewall and routing are correct. Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs Well, my media server is outside the firewall, I tried from 2 computer plugged into the same switch outside of the firewall, as well as PC in my LAN. If I put IP Address of the media server to my HOSTS file of any PC no problem at all. I have 2 computer outside firewalll (on the same switch), trying to watch video from the pc outside the firewall is the same problem, unless I put MEDIA server IP address to PC's hosts file So it has nothing to do firewall, so, web client (IE6) trying to open the streaming video, somehow referencing a host name that it needs.

Just HTTP://IP-ADDRESS is the problem unless I add a HOSTS record on local host file of the PCs.
