To configure a firewall for unicast streaming, you must open the ports on the firewall that are required for the connection protocols enabled on your server. If you are streaming content by using either the Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol or the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), you need to support both the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). To enable clients to use the HTTP, RTSP, or MMS protocols to connect to a Windows Media server that is behind a firewall, open the ports described in the following table. Ports to Open When Clients are Connecting Using HTTP, RTSP, or MMS Protocols
In: TCP on ports 80, 554, and 1755 | The server uses the TCP In ports to accept an incoming HTTP connection (port 80), RTSP connection (port 554), or MMS connection (port 1755) from clients. | In: UDP on ports 1755 and 5005 | The server uses UDP In port 1755 to receive resend requests from clients streaming by using MMSU (MMS used with UDP), and UDP In port 5005 to receive resend requests from clients streaming by using RTSPU (RTSP used with UDP). | Out: UDP on ports 1024 through 5000. | The server uses UDP Out ports 1024 through 5000 to send data to clients. |
