Hi,

I have a problem with FMS 3.5 installed on Windows 7. The problem is that FMS works only on my local machine, I am not able to use it from computers in local network. I turned off all windows firewalls and my machine is visible for other computers - I am able to connect to FMS Welcome site on apache on default port 8134, but streaming fails, and I cannot do the same on port 80. Any help appreciated...

    How are you trying to connect - what's the uri you are using? If you see fms logs do you see any connections coming , you can check access logs to see that.

    I should have mentioned - I use the default configuration with Apache 2.2. My uri is ip of my machine in local network. As I said I can see apache on port 8134 from the outside, but not on v-host port 80. And even on 8134 streaming  through rtmp fails (while connecting from other computer in same local network). However, the 2nd example from initial fms website with streaming via http works fine. While trying to use rtmp from different computer in local network FMS does not log any access activities. To compare with, while trying to use rtmp on the server machine both localhost and ip in local network work as expected - FMS streams files and loggs all activities appropriately.

         - This makes me believe that connection is not reaching FMS at first place hence nothing is logged.

    As I said I can see apache on port 8134 from the outside, but not on v-host port 80.

         - Can you make sure that FMS edge is listening on port 80?
