Streaming from home with DSL

I am wanting to do some streaming from a home network that has a d-link 655 router, DSL connection, Server 10.5.5, QTSS and QTB. I get things to work well from within my house, but can't seem to get it to be accessible from outside the house. I've attempted to create a virtual server on the d-link and opened the ports 80, 7070, 8000, 8001, and 554 that was redirected to the internal private ip of the server. Didn't seem to work when a friend tried to access the stream using rtsp://ipaddress_of_dslmodem/video.sdp (I have a static ip address for the dsl modem).
I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has successfully configured the d-link dir-655 router to enable sending streams out from a private home network.

I have had some problems too. What I have found that seems to work for me. At least in some way, is to set the forwarding ports under the Advanced tab.
Under the Port Forwarding Rules I have added my own application name QuickTime Streaming and added the ports 7070, 1220, 554, 8000 to the TCP field and the ports to the UDP field. It won't take the suggestion of 10000-65635 so I just gave it a large range. I did have to disable my torrent port at 51413 however so you might have some conflicts you'll have to resolve before enabling this.
I also have my system set to be under the DMZ'ed feature. This means your machine is naked to the Internet by most standards. You may or may not want to use this for that reason alone. The risk is entirely yours to determine.
Another thing you may want to do is set up a Dynamic DNS for a host name. There is a feature within the router that will allow you to choose from one of several providers and instead of having to use your IP address (which - depending on your ISP and service package may change) you can use a domain name. I have done this as well.
It's too early for my bum-like friends to be up to test this with me but it seems it works. I do have two machines running my setup. One sends the video feed via wireless to another machine on the network and that machine has a streaming server installed to broadcast it to the Internet.
Hope that all helps.

  • I simply want to share my calendars from home with my work iMac

    I really have tried to fine the answer to this and feel a little silly for asking, but .... I just want to share some of my calendars from my home iMac with my new work iMac. I have MobileMe but when I try to join my calendars I get a message saying I cannot join calendars I'm sharing.
    How do access calendars I'm 'sharing' from home on my Mac at work?
    Thanks.

    Assuming he works for a company, the first person to talk to is whoever is in charge of the company's network. Most company networks are firewalled, and usually won't permit access except by authorized users with company-approved VPN software.

  • Video Stream from Webcam with socket possible?

    Hello there,
    i want to stream a live feed from my webcam in a chat, but i have no idea how to manage it... ( i dont want RTP ) ...
    I can allready display it on my screen, but how do i stream this ?
    Can i create a Socketstream from this ?
    And how can i transmit the format info to the other side?
    What i have is the following:
    The Component of the Camera:Component live = player.getVisualComponent();And the Formatsprivate static Format[] availableFormats;
    availableFormats = deviceInfo.getFormats();Any Ideas ?

    Hi,
    I want to do the same thing ... I was able to stream audio through the socket but could not stream video.
    I posted my question at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674676&tstart=15
    and presented a sketch of my implementation design. But until now no one has answered my question.
    This is how you should hook up the components on the transmitter side
    Webcam --> Processor --> Custom DataSink --> PushBufferStream --> PushBufferHandler --> Socket --> Network.
    You can implement the transferData() method of the PushBufferHandler to write to a socket.
    And on the Receiver side the components should be hooked up like this
    Network --> Socket --> PullBufferStream --> custom DataSource --> Player
    Now as I mentioned in
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674676&tstart=15
    the audio works fine but the video does not. The video does not render on the receiver side.
    Note: I tried TCP sockets with audio and it is terrible (not practical at all) so I reverted to UDP datagrams and the result was better than I expected. I didn't take care of the ordering of received packet at the receiver but it still worked fine.
    I am still looking waiting for some help in why video is not rendering and how can I sovle this problem.
    I am workning on a project and time is running out.
    Any help?

  • How do I stream Mac OS X Lion content on my Apple TV (e.g. streams from browser with video and audio)

    Hey folks,
    I got a new Apple TV 3rd generation. Its fine with my ipad, but I wanna stream content from flash based websites via my MacBook(2007) with OS X Lion.
    Do you have any Idea how to do it? I know e.g. AirParrot, but as far as I know with AirParrot I will not be able to stream the SOUND to my TV, it will only mirror my screen or the Browser Window.

    Update: I now bought a Airport Extreme which I connected to the Easybox 803 , switched off the easybox WLAN and use the APE in "bridge" mode to do the WLAN work. This works perfectly, all MAC and iOS devices Airplay well and also my brother printer is now acknowledged by the system

  • How do I prevent the Airport Extreme router from dropping with DSL when a call comes in?

    I just installed a new Aiport Extreme 802.11n router. I am using DSL and it works great until someone calls me. When the phone rings and my answering machine answers the call the router drops and start flashing amber.My old router did not have this problem. Is there an option I can set that will prevent the router from dropping when someone calls me?

    The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.

  • Apple tv2 not streaming from home library

    Trying to watch movies from my itunes library and nothing will stream to my Apple tv. No video will stream at all only music. I've tried to itunes logout and login fix and that won't work. I keep getting an error after about 10 seconds of video. Please help !

    Your router may be not fast enough or there is too much interference (it may be between your computer and the router or the router and apple TV).
    Assure your router is 802.11n or at least 802.11g with good capacity (it must not fallback to 802.11b)
    If the movie has a higher bitrate than your router is capable of delivering that won't stream at all.

  • How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

    My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

    To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream).  To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your mom's phone wont be effected by this.  Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.)  Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

  • My girlfriend just bought a new iphone and needs me to help from home with her apps.  How can i see them? When I log in i see my apps and my music

    My girlfriend needs me to log in to itunes to help her w her apps. but when i do all i see are mine. i am logged into her acct???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't keep swapping iTunes accounts to use other people's apps or you will locked out of changing back to your own account. I'm not sure how you can help her with her apps from another device.

  • Airplay video on iPad audio on TV when streaming from Home Share

    If I stream video from my iTunes Library to my iPad, then turn on AirPlay to my ATV, the video plays on the iPad but audio plays on the TV.  I could use the Apple TV to grab the content from my iTunes library, but why the weird behavior?  Is there a fix?

  • Having trouble browsing the internet at home with my MacBook

    I have been having issues browsing the web from home with my MacBook. When I try to go to pretty much any web site (Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, etc) the page starts loading and makes minimal progress before it stalls and I'm staring at a blank white browser window. The page will eventually load after about 3-4 minutes but only partially.
    I have a Belkin N+ router (model F5D8235-4 v2) and a fiber optic internet service. My sister and my brother-in-law are able to access any and all sites quickly and completely. She has a MacBook Pro and he has a Dell Inspiron (so it doesn't seem to be a Mac vs Windows issue). We have tried changing the router password type from WEP to WPA. I've tried to hardwire into my router with no success. I have cleared my entire cache, history, and cookies - still no change. I have also not had any success with using a different browser.
    I have no issues when I'm using my Mac at work (on a T1 line with an Ethernet cable) or at my mother's house (Netgear ADSL2+ wireless router). I'm curious as to what I can do to fix this. My Mac friends at work and my systems analyst/programmer dad are all as confused as I am. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

    The Learning Center uses Flash. My guess is that you probably installed the PowerPC Flash plugin and replaced the Universal plugin that ships with the Intel-based Macs.
    To restore the Universal version of the plugin, go to http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=2dda3d81 and download the preview release.

  • Need to control my work mac from home

    Hello all wise and knowing. I have a G5 at home and 1 at work. I need to be able to control my work computer from home with decent speed. I have a T1 at work and cable at home, but I don't know how to acheive my goal. I tried Chicken of the VNC, but its horribly horribly horribly slow. I read about remote desktop, but it doesn't seem to be what I need. Anyone have a suggestions? Please.......

    VNC is the only free option. If you're willing to spend money and ARD doesn't do what you want, you could look into Netopia's Timbuktu or the just-announced PC Anywhere 12.0 from Symantec which now supports Macs.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

    I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes  - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
    What are my options?

    I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
    If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook?  I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device.  IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
    Can someone clarify this for me?
    Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
    Many thanks!

  • My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

    My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7.  The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

    Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/
