Configure Watchguard firewall to allow Windows Media Services streaming
Hello All,
I have a Windows Server 2008 box with the following configured:
Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
Media Services - Using RTSP on port 554
IIS 7.0 - Using HTTP port 80
One network card configured to an internal address of 192.168.0.100.
I also have a Watchguard Firebox X55e Edge, I have managed to get the Watchguard box configured to redirect all port 80 traffic to go to the 192.168.0.100 box however, I am unable to get Windows Remote Desktop to be redirected and also I am unable to get any streaming media out.
I hope all of this makes sense, and I hope someone can help me get things configured.
Cheers,

Assuming that RDP is running on default TCP 3389 port; you would need to forward ports to your server as well. Also, you would need service to allow streaming traffic in the similar way.
