Title: How to open port 554 and 7070 to recieve Quicktime webcast
Post by: David Trask on October 03, 2003, 01:17:07 AM

Our school is going to be participating in a statewide web cast via Quicktime Streaming.  I'm using SME 5.6 as a proxy/firewall/DHCP server at my school.  I am unable to connect to the "test" webcast when I'm behind the firewall, but I can when I am not behind it.  I need to figure out how to get this Quicktime web cast through my SME box.  I know that ports 554 and 7070 are involved....any ideas?  I tried the portopening rpm (though I'm not convinced it works at all)....and nothing worked....I need to get this up by next Tuesday a.m.   can you help?

does more than one computer need the quicktime thing?
if yes, you eill have bad luck.
additional to portopening you'll need portforwarding.
but you can forward one port only to one computer...

or does anyone know a solution to forward the required ports to more than one computer?

cheers klaus

For SME Server 5.x, you will need to install the port forwarding and packet filtering RPMS and configure port forwarding in the new port forwarding panel in Server Manager.  Here is the info I used to install this on my home SME Server:

I needed to install this for playing multi-player Delta Force over the Internet.

All the best,

It doesn't do anything useful at all, as I've said here a number of times (though nobody seems to be listening).
