I am trying endlessly to get real player to stream. If not real then do other players stream radio stations ? What settings do I use in my router. I have a netgear, there is only port forwarding, do I use this ? In real audio do you enable rtsp proxy ? Please help. I have a Ambicom 802.11 card that connects to the internet with no problem.

You can get a limited number of RealPlayer sites to stream if you place your PDAs IP in the DMZ of your router.

Could you please explain DMZ? I'm new to setting up a router. Also, which sites have you found that allow streaming with the Axim. I'm looking for NCAA audio.

Thanks

You'll probably also need to create a static IP address for your PPC first. On your PPC, go to Settings> Connections > Network Adaptors and select the Network Adaptor you're using. Then select Use a Specific IP Address. Select any address you like in the range provided by your router.

The DMZ is a special setting on your router that allows direct access to a particular IP address without firewall screening. Poke around in your router settings until you find it, then set it to the static IP address you created above. You may need to reboot your router after you do this.

After you do that, you should be able to reach a limited number of Real Audio sites. You can only reach sites that your rtsp:// addresses not http://. And not all of those, either. Best bet is just to experiment and see if the one you want will work.

As a test, here's one that works for me:


Virgin Radio

Thank you for the DMZ info. It worked I got streaming audio and video.
