The internet URL *should* be disabled - as far as I am aware you
cannot broadcast over HTTP from the encoder at the same time as you
publish an MMS stream to a media server. The idea is that the media
server accepts many more incoming connections than your encoder can
handle without degrading the encoding process at all.

However, if you intended to broadcast over http from the media encoder
to clients, yes the http (internet) url should be available. I'd try
broadcasting locally over HTTP to see if you can access on the LAN,
then use the NAT device, allow your specified port to be visible and
forwarded to your encoder device from the internet. You'll need to
provide your extenral IP address to internet clients to connect to
(use an asx file or a link in a web page, or an embedded player,
or...)

Cheers - Neil.

 currently, the internet url is set as our internal ip, and the LAN

 give me some pointers on how i can get this stream out to the media
 server? thank you, and please forgive my lack of knowledge here, as
 i am new to this stuff
