Guys, I setup my Server 2008 and router with a public IP address. I reserved a port 1234 on my router for WMS (Windows Media Services). I didn't keep the default port 80 because it kept conflicting with IIS. I also specified the same port 1234 in the Control Protocol -> WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol in the WMS. Now from my client machine, I got my Expression Encoder 2 to connect successfully to my Windows Media Services, pushing the video stream to my newly dynamically created publishing point. I can see my new publishing point created in the Server Role for WMS on the server, and my Expression client says connected. But once I hit Start for encoding, 3 seconds later I get this error message. "The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overlading or maintenance of the server". Any ideas how to fix this, it's been 3 days and 3 nights of trial and error with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
