Hi, I'm trying to get Windows Streaming Services working on Windowss Server 2003 Standard Edition. I have gave it the role and created a unicast point and ran the annouce wizzard. I have set it so that it points to a directory containing files to be streamed. Then from a client pc opened windows media player and opened the url: mms://serverName/pointName/file.wmv and it said there was no connection, I have also tried the .asx extention. I verified the file works (WMV) and it also work's on the server just not to any clients. The server is a new install fromdisk on service pack one and only had the windows media streaming role added. I have also set permissions on the folder hopefully giving me more access but this hasn't helped I have also tried no permissions. I'm all out of ideas, are there any ports to be opened gathering from the microsfot article there was nothing special to configure other than giving the server the role adding a point and running the annoucement wizard. Thanks for any responce. Kind Regards, Martin Newton Hughes

Martin, Just a friendly reminder that this is an Exchange Server newsgroup, so this post would best be served in the Windows Server newsgroups. Hope that helps.
