Viewing IPTV from behind a Siemens 2604 cable router

[radlin]

I am having trouble view IPTV VOD from my home. With the 2604 cable routers firewall enabled I cannot see the VOD. If I put my pc into the DMZ on the 2604 I then can view the VOD. Any ideas how I can view the VOD from behind the firewall???

IF the Siemens doesn't support Multicast, your nextoption would be to set the IPTV system to "smallcast" to your target address. Smallcast is a unicast to get through infrastructure that doesn't support multicast.

You may be able to do a VPN, but many VPNs (if I'm recalling correctly) don't suport multicast.

Smallcast should work.

Good Luck
