What are the best ports to use for streaming on a server? I'm impressed that no matter what corporate firewall I'm using the Purgatory Fm streams get through! Are there 'optimum' ports to use to make sure your service gets past the SPI of some firewalls?

Hi Andy,

The majority of Windows Media streams use either HTTP protocol on port 80 or MMS protocol on 1755 - you can find a full list at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx#Unicast though which should get you going :-)

Yay - many thanks!
