Question

Users on specific network can't connect to video

Hello,

We've just installed Flash Media Server 4 to host video for a new client. We've gotten it to serve up video to the public and ourselves (inside our own network), but the problem is our client cannot view the videos. They keep getting a "can't connect to the network" message. Does anyone know of how we should troubleshoot this? The videos are each about 90 minutes long, and for right now, there are six of them, which is why we wanted to stream instead of embedding them.

Thanks for any good advice you can offer.

    Try this connection tester for them: http://www.fmsguru.com/freeapps/cameratester.cfm

    Grab the results of that and see how they're network does. This should give you a good indicator on what they are allowing through and then you can either change your app to meet those needs or push them to open theirs up a bit.
