Issue:
Cannot stream through NAT router as packets don't make it back through to Internet user. In other words, I cannot play the sample movies or stream movies outside the firewall. I've checked the firewall settings and the QT ports are open.
Solution:
QT/Quicktime Streaming Server (Darwin Streaming Server) can be configured to use a NAT via the "alt_transport_src_ipaddr" configuration parameter.
Warning: This has a higher overhead and the Router packet inspection can limit streaming performance with multiple streams concurrently in session.
Instructions:
1. Open the streamingserver.xml file.
2. Locate the following line:
<PREF NAME="alt_transport_src_ipaddr" ></PREF>
3. Modify this with the IP address of the Internet/Outside/Real IP of the router or firewall. Example for external IP 122.33.44.55:
<PREF NAME="alt_transport_src_ipaddr" >122.33.44.55</PREF>
4. Restart the QT Streaming service in the Server Admin.
