FMS 3 and JW Player

Question

Hello, I have been trying to get an answer to my questions
regarding FMS 3 but to no avail...hopefully someone can help me
here..
I have a flash file and use JW Player as my player...I can
stream inside my network. I have a changing IP address so I
assigned 192.xx.x.xx to my server..
I use Apache for web server. I use the code for linking to
the file and works great inside my network...How can i get this to
play outside my network?
here is how the player is setup:
<script type='text/javascript'
src='swfobject.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>var s1 = new
SWFObject('player.swf','player','500','400','9');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('flashvars','streamer=rtmp://192.xx.x.xx/vod&file=Wedding.flv&image=preview1.j pg');
s1.write('preview');
s1.addParam('salign','sr')
</script>
Any help would be great...

Hi egrogg011,
Your local ip address is often different then the ip address
to the outside world. Between the computer and the internet there
could be a router or something like that. When you want that
someone from the internet could connect to your server you would
have to change 192.xx.x.xx to your internet ip address. Next to
that you will need to configure your router to forward the ports
that the media server uses because they are a lot of times closed
or not redirected to the correct ip.
