Hi Everyone:
I am trying to build an internet radio station for University students.
I decided to use Windows technologies:

1. Windows Media Encoder 9
2. Windows Server 2003 (Windows Media Services)

I have the following setup:

I have windows server 2003 box running Windows media services and also
a web server.
I also have two boxes running XP SP2. All three machines are networked
using a switch and MSHOME workgroup.
I use one of the boxes to play media and also run the encoder on the
same box. The encoder is configured to use port 27 and the pull method
to connect to Media server.
I also configured a publish point on the Media server to receive the
stream and broadcast it as a unicast, then I built a webpage with
embedded Windows player to access the publishing point.
Then I used my other XP box to open the broadcast. So I open the
browser and typehttp://Myserveras soon as I do that the page I created
loads up with the embedded player, then start buffering the plays the
broadcast.

I also have a static IP configured on my router, therefore when I try
to access the same webpage from work the webpage loads up ok and the
player displays the word ready but does not play the stream.

Can anyone please direct me how to get the broadcast to work from
outside my LAN?

Hi,

you can use PUSH from encoder to server. In that case Encoder
initiates publishing point, instead of Server calling encoder.
Other than that you can configure your router to "port forward" or
create "virtual server", by exposing your encoder to Internet.
