Sorry I'm a little tired today. ;-) My point was that this firewall issue challenges the penetration of any product or service developed on this platform...maybe there's no choice from a technical perspective... I don't know...would just like confirmation or an explanation...
Let's say for example that you offer third party help desk services...you develop an interactive experience right on the web site...who knows...maybe even video interaction or real time chat...well it'll work great for "some" users...but forget targeting users of corporate America because the applications can't be loaded unless every company opens firewall ports? LoL Ok, ok maybe an over dramatization but I think it makes my point...please...someone tell me I'm off base here...

I have to agree that it is going to prove to be an issue as many individuals/corporations have most ports (including 1935) blocked. Without digging into how the server works - a user will be in the dark as to what went wrong.

Can you open port 1935? AFAIK that is the Flash Comm port.

It appears the Flash player requires more than just port 80 to stream...so from behind our corporate firewall I can't access any Flashcom objects on any web site. -----Original Message----- From: Fitch, Tyler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 6:56 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Flashcom and Firewalls Hi Stacy, If your Flash Comm server is on a separate box, that doesn't have a webserver on it, move the Flash Comm RTMP service to port 80 and access it like this rtmp:80/your_app <- I'm pretty sure the port def goes on the left there like that. All the stuff I've been reading is at home today, so I don't have it in front of me. That is assuming 80 is open on your firewall, or move it to any other port that is open on your firewall and you're not using on the server, so your Flash Comm Server can then use it. That's about the only thing I can think of at this point. HTH, t ********************************************************************** Tyler M.

Internally we can't use squat due to additional ports required by the Flash player to use Flash Com components. MM's Executive overview is a good example...it'll startup but stop when the video is about to commence...with no notification as to why it's not playing...just sits there dead...leaving the user wondering what the heck's going on.
