Are you allowing these ports?

Port 554; Protocol: TCP; Purpose: Control Channel for RTSP Requests

Port 8080; Protocol: TCP; Purpose: HTTP Requests

Port 6970-6999; Protocol: UDP; Purpose: Data Channel

I know audio uses a different port than video.

Thank you.

Yes, we are, We should be able to go out freely in most cases.

I was able to fixid by limiting realplayer's port usage in preferences.

I took me long to find the documentation at RealNetworks site.

Here it is just for the records.

Manually configure RealPlayer to use UDP or TCP ports.

You need to specify the UDP or TCP ports RealPlayer can use to connect. The UDP option offers better sound and video quality than TCP. Ask your firewall administrator which option you should choose.

To configure RealPlayer to receive content via UDP:

1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.

2. In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports.

3. Select the Use specific UDP ports check box, and type the port number to use for RealPlayer traffic. You can enter multiple ports by separating each entry with a comma and a space (for example: 7070, 8080). Your firewall administrator will need to provide you with the UDP port numbers.

4. Click OK to save your changes.

To configure RealPlayer to receive content via TCP:

1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.

2. In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports.

3. Select the Manually configure connection settings check box.

4. Click the RTSP Settings button, then make sure the Attempt to use TCP for all content check box is selected.

5. Click OK.

6. Click the PNA Settings button, then make sure the Attempt to use TCP for all content check box is selected.

7. Click OK to save your changes.

Solution 3: Manually configure RealPlayer to use HTTP only.

On some networks it may be necessary to configure RealPlayer to use the HTTP Only option to connect to the Internet. This option allows a copy of RealPlayer operating behind strict firewalls to access RealPlayer traffic; however, quality may not be as good as with other connection options.

To configure RealPlayer to receive content via HTTP only:

1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.

2. In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports.

3. Select the Manually configure connection settings check box.

4. Click the RTSP Settings button, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.

5. Click OK.

6. Click the PNA Settings button, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.

7. Click OK twice to save your changes.

Thank you again.
