Hello all.
Well, the story goes like this:
I've been making flash games and application for 7 years now (long live flash
3!!), and in the past year I've been working allot with the media server
(started with communication server).
I have made several chat application, several video chat and streaming
applications, and several multiplayer game, all using the media server.
Now we want to extend out hand out to people behind a proxy (who doesn't want
to play in the office??!!, good thing I have this job, I get to play most of my
day...), but, tests I have made to use http tunneling didn't seem to work. I
have been able to connect my application with the http tunneling connection
alright, but other from my office who are behind a proxy were not able to
connect. I sent them to do the test on this site
(http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16466) and
they all failed there too. I've sent other friends from other offices to do the
test (I thought it was a problem with our proxy - "ccproxy") but again, they
all failed the test... so...?? what the deal?? does this work in any way or on
any machine?? did any one found a way to make this work? will our http blocked
and backed up behind a proxy friend will be able to play some games with me on
my application some day??
Would appreciate any tip some one could spare on this mystery.

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I built this great streaming application but
nobody can see it outside the school. Of course ports 1935 and 80 are open.

I tried tunneling through port 80 as well (RMTPT), but that didn't work.
I tryed editing my Adapter.xml file also, but no luck.

I don't know where to go from here, so any help would be nice. Thanks.

Something tells me this has to do with network and proxy settings that FMS has
no control of. I would be checking with the people in charge of the network to
see why the traffic is being blocked.

As for the ports, the defaults for rtmp and rtmpt are 1935 and 80
respectively. rtmpts defaults to 443. 1111 is for the admin service.

You can bind FMS/FCS t whatever ports you want to... those are just the
defaults.

1935

The proxy settings are the only thing I'm unsure about. I will have to check.

Well... all users will need a keep alive connection to the server, and will
need to be able to transmit rtmp (not tunneling) and http (tunneling) data over
that keep alive connection.

So, tell your network administrator that your clients will need to make a
keep-alive connection on either ports 80 or 1935 (or ideally, both), and will
need to be able to both send and receive rtmp and http packets over those ports.

You might also need to have your network admin set up some forwarding for you.
If the machine your FMS does not have it's own public IP address or connections
are not being forwarded from the network server/router, the connections just
die at the server/router.

We're having a similar problem.

Tunnelling does not seem to work if port 1935 is blocked. I have port 80 open,
but requests don't ever seem to get made here.

We have tried the macromedia sample apps, and it's the same thing.

Does anyone have any insight into getting Flash Media apps to work for clients
behind firewalls blocking port 1935?
