Can I get around a firewall at work to watch feeds?
Dallasbbfan | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 01:19 pm     Can anyone help me with this problem? I don't think I can call tech support and tell them I want to watch BB feeds. Probably wouldn't go over well. I tried the RPOne instructions about changing to http but it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated. The error says it is unable to establish a connection with the server |

They did at my office until I said that I needed to put a link on the intranet to a business report about the company and an online interview with the CEO. Then they opened the ports so those could be viewed and viola! I could get the live feeds, too! This only works, though, if you have to post things to an intranet website for the entire company to view. |
Draheid | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 07:47 pm     It might be possible to use the proxy or manual settings in RealOne to use an existing port. Look through the network connection configuration for 'proxy' settings and see if you can manually configure the program. Alternatively, you might be able to get in via AOL since a lot of companies do allow AOL access. Just a thought. |
Cmc209 | Thursday, September 05, 2002 - 12:56 pm     Try this - my work blocked streaming from real, and I had to make a tiny tweak to get it to work again. Real One - Go under Tools, Preferences, Connection, Network Transports - check the box for UDP port, and make it port 7070 (or any of those numbers - mine is set to 7070). |
