The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everyone,

I have trouble to send stream into Internet (it run only into LAN)
I have a router D-link DSL-G604T connect to Internet ADSL

I use WIN2000 service pack 4
I don't have firewall

The external IP is 87.5.175.XXX
The Local IP of machine to run VLC server is 192.168.1.2
The Local IP of router is 192.168.1.1

I have setup my Lan Board with a specific IP, the settings are:

IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Router IP adress)
DNS server: 192.168.1.1

First, I open port 8080 into my router (about port forwarding)
When I streaming a video, i choose these steps:

1) Outputs: HTTP
2) port: 8080

3) TTL I try: blank, 1, 2, 3,10

it's now: :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8080}}


4) I start streaming


5) open in another PC a VLC client, CTRL+N and put:

http://87.5.175.XXX:8080 (I used IP external)

but after few seconds dislpay an error ("unable to open http://87.5.175.XXX:8080")

If i use a machine into LAN it's ok: http://192.168.1.2:8080 (I used Ip internal associated at machine where run VLC server)


If I use a server machine link to Internet directly by USB modem (not router) all work poprertly very well!

But if I use router not work external LAN.

Can I help me?

Thank you

Alex

same problem here, did you find a way?

You configured your router wrong, or your router is broken, or your bandwidth is insufficient.

I had the same issue with windows media encoder, you can't access your external ip from the local network. You could ask a friend to test your external ip. Make sure you portforward to the computer hosting the stream. 80 and 8080 are reserved for http interface of the router!

Same Problem, but I have another:

I send a stream via rtp to a friend (external), and he doesnt find the stream, whit http is he does, but whit udp, and rtp I only made a successful local stream, ansd external streams with http but, whit this (http) I cant see a stream whit other pc in a local network.

Thanks and Sorry for my english

same problem ???
and i wait any solution to stream from PC to PC over internet
