Flash Media Server 4 Ip address?

Question

I know this question might sound stupid(forgive me if I offended any of you) but I cant understand, I'm stuck in the part that what ip address would I have to use to stream live video. I understand that when I'm making the web player on Flash Pro CS5.5 I write in source " rtmp://localhost/live/livestream" but what I don't get is when I want to stream to public what will I have to do? Since the server will be my computer and In Flash Media Live Encoder I would write this " rtmp://localhost/vod/ExampleName" as the server ip or address. How would I view this when I'm connected with the custom player made in Flash pro on the Internet for other to see. Since the ip will be taking peoples "localhost" not the ip i would be streaming from like "221.524.21.2(made up address)."

Sorry I'm messed up over here, I cant find a way to explain this more better . But if you do understand what's my point then please help.

Its very simple, your connection URI for your subscribing clients should be "rtmp://<serverURI>/live/livestream"

where

<serverURI> - is public IP or public DNS name of your machine.

Whatever you put as <serverURI> should be reachable to outside world.

Example:

My FMS machine has IP x.y.z.w and this is public IP - that is anyone can hit my machine (ports which i have kept open) by this ip address.

So i can publish using FMLE (if its on same machine as FMS) - "rtmp://localhost/live" or "rtmp://x.y.z.w/live"

For subscribing web player - your URI in code should be "rtmp://x.y.z.w/live"
