    Hi,

    I am not sure if I got your question correctly. Can you provide some more information as to which application are you connecting?

    In case you are connecting using NetConnection.connect("rtmp://localhost/app_name") you will need to replace the localhost by the IP adress of the server machine where your FMS is installed and running. For example if your server ip is 192.168.x.x. you can connect to the app using NetConnection.connect("rtmp://192.168.x.x/<app_name>"). So if you know the IP Adress of the server you can use that.

    Please revert back in case of anyclarifications.

    Thanks,

    Abhishek

    Hey, many thanks.. Actually, I copied the sample videoplayer from FMS to another computer and connected the server and client computers via a wireless router. I put the I.P address of the server in the url bar along side the app folder nd so on...Gives me an error message saying it cannot connect... I went through some documentation, but i dont know what the server domain name means or what it is..Help pls

    Hi,

    So it worked well when you try the same client from the FMS server itself. Like abhishek had mentioned, are you sure that you are replacing only the IP of FMS server instead of 'localhost' when you connect from other machine?

    Just to be even more clear... use the client application at the FMS server machine with IP in the url instead of localhost. Check what happens. More check if you see any traces in the access log file which is located at $Root\Flash Media Server\logs\access.00.log. This can give you better info if the connection has reached the server first of all.

    I hope it helps

    Regards,

    Janaki L
