| [help] Did AT&T Start Blocking Port 8000 this month? I can no longer get a Windows Media stream to work:
»www.adventuresinanimemusic.com/ has been streaming for 6+ years. Last week, I had to change the LAN IP address of the server, but from what I can tell, there's no Windows Media Encoder-related changes needed, but the stream won't play now. It just goes back to stop when pressing the play button on the player (upper right of page above).
Only thing I can think of is port blocking must have been implemented around the same time, causing me to troubleshoot a problem that's really not on my end? |

Check your firewall. Changing a device IP address can leave orphaned rules allowing non-existent devices, while blocking the new IP address, because the firewall was not updated when the device IP address was update. Better than 90% of the time, if you make a change, and something breaks, your change is what broke things.

| I had to add new services to the device "aamserver" in my firewall just to get the server back on the net, but remaining is the Windows Media streaming.. still can't get that to work, even with a new pinhole for port 8000. I'm out of ideas.. |

| Is your port 8000 defined as UDP? Media streaming is defined for a TCP type port as per this wiki page.
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TC···_numbers
, or else there isn't a definition, just service is selected based on incoming type. hmmm.... |
