RE: Streaming Video requires logon and password

Hi,

Thanks Mike. That is a good idea. I figured out that it isn't the logon and
password that is the issue. It seems to be ISA itself blocking all streaming
even though there is no rule preventing it. I use the standard 8080 port for
the Firewall Client on one network that Streaming Video/Audio doesn't work.
In the other Domain it does work (after putting in password) but the Firewall
client runs on port 80 and that is the only difference.

I like your suggestion to get around the logon. It should work and I will
try it and let you know. I am actually fine with the logon and password as I
want to log streaming. We only allow it for educational purposes.

Cheers,

Lara
