macromedia flash flashcom : Streaming video brickwall.

Ok guys. I have searched high and low for a solid week and looked through this
whole site to find nothing on my issue. I am currently trying to stream video
from a webpage. Here is my setup:

Server 2003
Flash Media Server 2 (on seperate server by itself)
Apache 2.2
PHP

I have added the MIME types to apache and have no firewalls that are currently
blocking any ports. Both servers are on the same network within my domain.
When I look at the page with the video on it, there is nothing but a white
space. Not even the controls that are on the .swf file show up. I am making a
connection to the FMS because I am getting a connected on the Admin Console and
it shows a stream but shows the stream status idle and no bytes being
transferred. The file structure I have the flv in is
/applications/videostreaming/myflvs/streams/***.flv with the main.asc file in
the videostreaming folder. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to add the stream to the
page. Can't decide if it is because of Dreamweaver or the FMS server not
working correctly. I am completely stumped.

Got it. I can't stress this enough.....File structure, file structure, file
structure. Underneath the applications folder be sure to create <any folder
name>, then streams folder, then _definst_ folder.

My only issue now is that my video to the worldwideweb is very choppy. I
thought that if I have my FMS server on a different box than my webserver, they
could connect internally and still be able to stream the video through the
webserver out onto the www. Apparently I need an outside ip for my FMS box as
well. Am I incorrect in this assessment?
