failed to open a connection (tcp)

Postby actionthom » 06 Aug 2011 11:54

Hi guys,

I'm trying to watch a live stream (http://89.185.235.165:2659/OBV) but it can't connect:

[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: failed to open a connection (tcp)
[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: cannot connect to server
[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: cannot connect to 89.185.235.165:2659
[05b79ca4] main input error: open of `mms://89.185.235.165:2659/OBV?MSWMExt=.asf
' failed: (null)
[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: no data received

[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: no data received
[0507e3c4] access_mms access error: no data received

I'm assuming I need to open a TCP port on my router, but I can't figure out which one. does anyone know a good way to find out which port needs forwarding, or if there's another way to fix this issue?
There's another game starting at 11 that I want to watch :(

You don't need to forward any port for MMS/H. Only outbound connections.
