Hi, I hope you can assist… - Streaming Engine is running and listening on port 1935, - I can see the version information locally with localhost:1935 - When trying to reach it from other devices I can see the SYN requests coming in with Wireshark, but they are all ignored. This is all inside the wireless network. Thanks! ---

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum. Are you trying to playback a stream or connect to the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager? Or are you trying to connect to [wowza-ip]:1935? If everything is set up correctly then [wowza-ip]:1935 will show the version number. You can test playback by entering [wowza-ip]:1935/vod/sample.mp4(this playback url format depends on the player) If you are trying to connect to the Engine Manager you will need to make sure you have started the Manager(this is a separate procedure) and navigate to [wowza-ip]:8088/enginemanager Regards, Salvadore ---

Thank you Salvadore, everything works locally, on the server machine using localhost or internal ip. It fails when I try from remote machine inside the wireless network using internal ip, or from outside using external ip (port forwarding configured). Regards, Yael ---

Hello Paul, Problem is solved. In addition to firewall settings I had to join the server to a work/home group to allow the stream. Regards, Yael. ---

Yael, Can you confirm that there are no firewalls enabled, or if they are that you have allowed access (port 1935 TCP/UDP)? If everything looks good at the network level then there may be a configuration problem. Please [open a support ticket](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket) and we can take a closer look at your environment. Please reference this thread when doing so. Paul
