Have you got a static or dynamic IP ? In either case, you should
ensure WME port (default 8080) is set as allowed for connections in
windows firewall.
The encoder must be actively encoding (running) and set to allow
connections for WMP to connect. Also ensure you have
http://<ip-address>:<encoder-port-number> as the URL in WMP's File->
Open URL box, as the player cannot guess the port - and WME does not
offer any rollover from mms or rtsp to http - that's a function of the
media server.
You cannot anticipate to stream a sports event to more than a few
viewers using WME9 - the default connnection limit is 5 and even
tweaked to 50 (max) with a registry setting, the experience is subject
to buffering and holdups.
For live events, you should consider a media server which connects to
WME, then clients connect to the media server. The server will
normally have much higher available bandwidth than anything you're
running the encoder on - especially at an outdoor event.
My last employers www.unique-media.com specialise in providing
streaming servers and live event setup, if that's something you're
interested in.

Re: Setting up webcasting
Neil, thank you very much for your reply. I am looking into a Windows Media
Server with my hosting service and have asked for additional info and
possible costs for doing the server part for me from the unique-media people.
You have confirmed everything that I have otherwise learned in these
intervening days since I posted the questions. I am committed to doing this
webcast and will be thankful for any additional tips, advice, referrals from
the community.

Re: Setting up webcasting
I know this group is concerned with Windows Media Encoder, but just in case
any of you have had to set up a windows media server and have used MS
FrontPage to build your website on the server, does anyone know how to
install the MS FrontPage Server Extensions (2002 version). Microsoft, as you
may know and I now understand, has not supported FPSE for some time now (and
neither does my hosting service) and while I have done many searches and have
gone through many examples, they are either outdated or incomplete or I'm too
obtuse. There was a particularly clear and well laid out set of examples
from visualwin.com but I couldn't make my pictures match his pictures. I
understand that there are 5(?) dll files and an exe (servext or fpserver or
??) and I have found them on my local hard drive but I don't know if I copy
and paste or run or what? Do I install these from my local computer or do it
remotely from the server OS? When I began using FrontPage, it was
FrontPage98 so I kinda got used to it. Thanks very much for any help.
