Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / July 2008WMS on Server 2008 Enterprise
Has anyone really gotten Windows Media Server (v9.5) running on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition to work over the internet? I can get it to work locally but that is it. I have disabled all firewalls on server and client, put server and client in DMZ and still can not get streaming to work outside of local network. I even contacted the ISP to make sure they were not blocking any streaming media traffic. I have read every white paper and firewall port configuration for Windows Media Server I could find and nothing works. I also see that many others have the same issue but every response is about firewall port configuration. Well when I placed the server in the DMZ then I took the firewall out of the picture and still no streaming. I ran a log viewer and a packet capture to see if the request was getting to the server and it was. The server was just not responding to the clients request. I am very frustrated, any information is appreciated. Thank You Hi, I'm having the same problem: WMS 9.5 on Windows 2008 Ent.; streaming works fine internally but not over the Internet. Any help would be much appreciated. Mihai.

It can view the stream via internet. But when I put behind it. It cannot view the stream. > Has anyone really gotten Windows Media Server (v9.5) running on Windows > Server 2008 Enterprise edition to work over the internet?

Went from using a Windows 2003 Media Server to a 2008 Media Server - streaming on the local LAN or connected to VPN works fine, but Internet streaming through the firewall fails. Please post any solutions ~ Has anyone solved this issue? We are trying to make it work, no success > Has anyone solved this issue? We are trying to make it work, no success I have the same problem, it is really ***! Now I'm trying 48 hours to solve this problem... Is it maybe a other security item in Windows 2008?? 2003 works fine... but 2008 not. I have the same problem and I think I have found an answer. I think the WM Server is rejecting connections unless it is set up to accept connections containing our WAN IP address, which I suspect is being used during connect negotiations. I managed to make WMserver break the same way internally when I restricted the server to only listen to 127.0.0.1. My other internal PCs running WM palyer gave the same error message. Now I am working on a fix. I uspect that if I could add the WAN IP to the control protocol list, WM Server will allow the connections. If anyone has this working some help would be useful. the firewall docs and whitepapers don't address this particular issue. Putting my server out on the DMZ is not an option, and it doesn't always work. I hope that I can describe a (little) solution. I'm from The Netherlands, and my English is not so good. But... When I want to connect to the mediaserver by the following thing: mms://0.0.0.0/test I get an error and i see nothing. But when I do the following thing it works!!!!! When you go to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc At the client PC, and open the file hosts. And add the rule 0.0.0.0 <servername> And than you save the file... it works. But it is a mission impossible to ask clients to add this rule. When I add te rule a can see the movie by eq: mms://server/test I don't know what it is... It's a very beautiful program, but it didn't work.

Reboot the server Test your streaming from an external location and it should be working now! I have tried the solution from: Discostew but it doesn't work.... Said their other solutions? -- Wi http://forums.techarena.i FYI: These changes are all done on the WMS 2008 Server On Jul 15, 10:35 am, Discostew <matthew.pes...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is the solution that worked for me: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Test your streaming from an external location and it should be working > now! |
