"NetConnection.Connect.Failed" When using Public IP

Hi!

I am getting "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" error when trying to connect to my FMS 3.5 server from Internet.

Things work pretty well when the application is hosted and accessed on my local network. Now when I want to connect my live stream application to Internet it isn't working. Public IP for my server is of type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx (My machine is mapped to the ip so to connect I need to mention the port as well).

I am running IIS and FMS on the same machine. I have changed the default tcp/ip port of iis to 8080 and the ports for FMS are set to 1935,80.

I have updated the HTTPPROXY.HOST value in fms.ini to HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8080 (port of IIS)

HTTP tunneling and HTTP Proxy are also enabled.

Please help. Its really urgent.

    The fact that you are getting failed message means the connection has never reached FMS. There can be various reason for it. In order to investigate i would like to know few things from you and also would like you to try out few things:

    Things work pretty well when the application is hosted and accessed on my local network - What do you mean by application here - do you mean your client application?

    Have you tried connecting to your FMS from any other machine using its IP address (I mean machine IP address or hostname - not public IP)

    Can you ask someone from outside your company network(may be your friend or you yourself can i try from home) - Try connecting to your FMS using its public IP - Asking you to do this to rule out issue stated here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/202888#202888 - In order to get around problem stated in this post - you might need to configure your port forwarding in your router properly so that things work.
