Hi...

I am using Windows Media Encoder 9 on an XP Pro PC
connected to the Internet via DSL with dynamic IP.
I followed the steps to broadcast live from my connected
Web Cam. Problem is that in the Wizard the Media Encoder
sets the following http:
http://192.168.0.1:8080/ and the problem is that
192.168.0.1 is the Local Ethernet Adapter's IP Address,
not the PPP Adapter's IP address.
I can view the broadcast using my local Windows Media 9
player (entering the above http as URL), but someone else
connected to the internet cannot pull the broadcast.
Any help?

Thanks.

ps. By other Friends i see his IP like 86.33.12.55 so he
can stream to the net.
here i see my computername by internet outgoing..??

P.L.E.A.S.E. HELP..!!! I LIKE TO STREAM...

I have the exact same problem as reported in the previous post! I can connect to the streaming broadcast from my WLAN (using WMP v. 8.5, PPC 2002, and a 802.11b WiFi CF adapter) but others can not connect to the broadcast from the Internet. As in stated in the previous post, Windows Encoder assigns a 192.168.x.x IP address. As I understand things, a 192.168.x.x IP address is a non-routable IP address, i.e., it's "private IP space" that can not be used on the Internet. So, how do I get my broadcast stream in "public IP space," so others can connect to my streaming broadcast via the Internet???

F.Y.I.: The broadcast is being created using Windows Media Encoder 9 series on a desktop PC running Windows XP Home Edition, 802.11x wireless network, a router and software firewalls are in place.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Open either port 80 or 1755 on your router and point it to the machine
creating the stream. From the internet a person would get to your stream by
using mms://your.public.ip or if you use port 80 http://your.public.ip .
Many isp's block incoming port 80 access so your best bet is to go with port
1755.
