Hi, We are using IP masquerading as opposed to NAT. Yes, I thought that the streaming should've worked since we can get streaming Realmedia, but for some reason, I am thinking, (and this is beyond my knowledge base), that I read that the implementation of true RTP/RTSP and an IP aliasing system are inherently incompatible (I figured that RealNetworks did their own thing). Whether that's correct or not, if we try to connect to a quicktime stream, the player will always appear to time out (it returns an error code, for which we have no lists of explanations.) However, when we dial in directly to the ISP with the client machine, that is, without any gateway box, it works fine. I will check out the references here and see if I can come up with an answer. Thanks for the reply. Rich. On Sat, 8 Jan 2000, Justin C. Walker wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Does anyone know if there is a way to facilitate Quicktime streaming >> through an IP Aliasing gateway.
