Port question (1 Viewer)

[lar282]

Hi
I just can't figure out what I did wrong. Trying to set up the TV3 and the firewall but I get strange result. All works when I shut down the firewall....

I opened up these ports on the server machine

tcp 1433
udp 1434
tcp 554
udp 6970-6999

BUT I do not get a connection and the client is trying to talk to the server on high random UDP ports. Does anybody know what I did wrong here.

Firewall logg:
2007-01-09 10:19:01 DROP TCP 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.9 49809 31456 48 S 1125484913 0 8192 - - - RECEIVE

MP client log:

Hello,

From the Wiki

Firewalls

The streaming server uses the IETF RTSP/RTP protocols. RTSP runs on top of TCP, while RTP runs on UDP. Many firewalls are configured to restrict TCP packets by port number, and are very restrictive on UDP. Open the appropriate ports on the firewall. This allows the streaming server to be accessed via RTSP/RTP on the default ports and provides better use of network resources, lower speeds for client connections and less load on the server. Firewalls include ?McAfee, Norton, Windows Firewall which ships with Windows XP SP2, and Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) which ships with Windows 2000. The Ports that need to be open for unrestricted streaming include:

1. TCP Port 554: Used for RTSP
2. UDP Ports 6970 - 9999: used for UDP streaming.
3. Note a smaller range of UDP ports can usually be used (typically 6970-6999).

Try to open the port 6970 to 9999.

thank u for the tip, but I have followed that manual....

3. Note a smaller range of UDP ports can usually be used (typically 6970-6999).

which ports now really / WindowsXPSP2Firewall

Hi there!

i also got problems with my firewall (integrated WinXPSP2 FireWall)
you (that is, the Wiki) say "open udp ports 6970-6999", well my Client try's to connect on UDP far below even these Ports...?
actually i have the client Firewall down, trying to configuere the Server Firewall to be able to connect. Now, i use TCPView (sysinternals) to see, which connections will work and which not.
Now on Server, i realised i have to open TCP Ports 31456, 554 and 1025, to connect to TvService "don't know", TvService "Stream" and "sqlservr.exe"
Opening UDP Ports 6970 to 6999 as well as allowing "TvService.Exe" and "sqlservr.exe" to accept incommeing requests on Server doesn't solve the Problem.
On Client i can see MediaPortal.Exe trying to connect via UDP from local ports actually around 16xx-17xx to *.*, but those requests are unresponded...
so what else is there to be allowed in Windows Firewall?
ah, forgot, if both server and client firewall is down i've got no problem to connect.

So if anyone knows anything, you're welcome!

Thx ant greetz

ok, on server it works with letting "TvService.Exe", "sqlservr.exe and "sqlbrowser.exe" to allow incomeing connections.
