WindowsXP Media Player, ports and Firewall...

Hello... Can someone tell me what ports are used by Windows Media Player for Internet Radio playback...

 

Thanks,

There are several protocols that may apply to your problem. Specifically, Windows Media uses MMS. Protocol def is as follows:

 

port 1755 TCP Inbound

(secondary) port 1755 UDP Receive

 

port 1755 TCP outbound

(secondary) port 1755 UDP Send

 

Don't forget to check your Windows Media proxy settings against this. If you're using ISA Server 2000 as your firewall, let me know - as it will go beyond simple port definitions.
