I'm making a presentation to be viewed on 30 tablet PCs. The PCs are all
wirelessly connected to a laptop running Windows Server 2003 with Flash Media
Server2. The slide presentation on the tablets is controlled by an "admin" swf
running on the laptop server. This all works brilliantly, but now I want to
allow someone to participate in the presentation from a remote computer on the
internet. Is it possible for my admin laptop to connect to the local flash
media server AND a Flash Com server on my web server (media temple) ? Can I
have two instances of the simple conect component pointing to different
servers?:beer;

This is possible but needs configurations in both FMS and FCS. Why don't you simply host your content at your web server(FCS) and let every one connect there?
