Remote access for streaming from FMS, just need advice

Question

Hi guys,Ive been able to setup FMS 4.5 and stream RTMP videos locally from a webcam stream but if i try to access it remotely i cant get a connection. Ive forwarded port 1935 through to my local IP from my router but still no connection, what do i need to configure on the servers end to tell it that its behind an NAT etc. Do i just add the public ip to the hostname line in the fms.ini, or is there more i need to do too? Do i log into the admin panel and change the server name from localhost to my public IP? Any help is greatly appreciated =]

Yes you needn't to make any changes in fms.ini .. By default fms.ini and other configuration in any flash media server are configured to listen at all IP addresses at port 1935 (also at port 80 and 443 incase you choose to add the rtmpt and rtmps support too during the installation of the fms)

You need to make changes at two places to make sure that your fms is accessible via remote http web interface. I hope that you are not getting confused with the remote desktop thing.

First you need to make change in your Windows/Linux Operating system's firewall itself. For the testing purposes turn the firewall off so that you are sure that all configuration error lies in the main firewall of the router.
Configure the route firewall to allow your IP Address and Port to get outside access. You can do that in NAT Settings of your router.
Accessing outside router i.e from a home you need a static IP at your router end.
