Hi all,
Has anyone done any firewall testing with flashcom? Most my clients are behind some form of firewall and I know most of them can't use Netmeeting. I think flashcom uses one port, but does it use port 80 or another port that will need to be opened?
I plan on doing some testing myself but I wanted some opinions in the meantime.
Thanks for any replies.
I found this port tester from MM's site...

Still would like anyone's thoughts on this issue.
by default ... rtmp port is 1935
and the admin port is 1111
hope this helps
Hey - rumor has it that with some proxy/firewall magic, a few nic cards and enough time you can make it all run on port 80.
psx
Just to follow up...
I had to open ports 80 & 1935 on my SMC Barricade Router, and that allowed text, video and audio to work.
I just posted a response to this thread:

And right after i read this post. I think i might be having a problem with my Office's firewall as well... See the post...
Briefly: I have an app that works if your on the network, but doens't work on the web (outside the network).
If you're asking what you need to do...
First off, you need access to configure your companies, or home, firewall. Once you have that, simply open ports 40 (which should already be open, and 1935 (unless you changed that number during flashcom install).
I don't know the security risks of opening port 1935 yet, but that's your call.
Hope that clears things up, if not, just ask!
Good Luck.

Thanks i will do that monday for sure! I'm sure it will work too because right now it works great on the network. I'll then be able to move forward with this stuff!
BTW?: What is port 40: i've heard about 1935 and 1111 but what is 40 all about?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but port 40 is the port for most Internet traffic.
For example, when you tested your app from outside the network. You could see your flash interface, but couldn't communicate with the app, right? That's because viewing the .swf and .html, etc... used port 40. But communicating with the flashcom server uses port 1935.
Basically, if a firewall blocked port 40, you could not communicate with the Internet, so by default port 40 is open.
Hope that helps
Hey -
It's port 80 usually. Your firewall may be setup differently. My guess is the person in charge of your firewall switched it to a non-standard port so as to cut down on hack attempts.
Psx
Yes that's right.Quote:

I could get the swf file loaded into the browser and was able to see everything fine, but couldn't "connect" and/or "share" anything.
WE NEED TO SHARE PEOPLE!!!
That's my guess too.Quote:

Our network dude is a paranoid old man!
Pure brain fart. Port 80 is what I meant.
Sorry
