Problems getting started with Windows Media Encoder 9
Hi Experts,
I am tryin to get ready to stream live video over my network using Windows Media Encoder 9. I downloaded it yesterday and the software seems pretty easy to use. I see the URL to share across my LAN but when I start encoding/streaming, I can's see the video on on any other computers.
Is there any setting I need to change on my computer? Are there settings I have to change on the network. Ports that have to be opened? Firewall concerns?
Any ideas????

Thanks for the link. I am able to go through all of the steps and start encoding. The problem is when I type in the link on another computer I get the following message. Inernet Explorer cant view this web page.
I am thinking it has something to do with a network setting or firewall????

Windows uses port 80 for http protocol TCP
Microsoft Windows Media Services 9 Series uses two streaming media protocols to deliver content as a unicast stream to clients:
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)
Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol

I'm still trying but no success yet. I will close out the question soon if I don't make any headway.
I even tried it on my home network vs. work network.

Did you test firewall off?
We can progress faster with your response and as many details you can provide as I cannot see you :P
Which windows? all the same how many computers?
Do you have a media server and have installed windows media server?
To re-stream an existing live stream, you need to operate
the windows media services, which is a component of windows server 2003
All you said>stream live video over my network using Windows Media Encoder 9
Use the push video option and publish it

Have you enabled streaming in WMP?
If you have a home network, you can use Windows Media Player to stream media to computers and media devices in your home.

I have only be trying to pull the video instead of push.
If I push what needs to be done to the server. Install windows media services.
Here is some more info about my situation.
I am using a networked desktop computer(windows xp) hooked up to video and audio mixers via a capture device. I want to stream a daily news broadcast to approximately 34 computers for about a 5 min broadcast.
My network should be able to handle it. We were just upgrading to gig switches today. I am not locked into any specific video encoder, just need something reliable and cheap/Free.
If there is something that needs to be done on the network let me know and I will have my network admin give it a try.
