viewing a separated live server and media server

[xlthim]

I have an application I have to have running by Friday.

I have a computer on a vehicle that has had all 4 UnReal pieces (live, media, player, archive) for almost 2 years...works great. (Actually, I have several vehicles set up like this)

I have a laptop that we built a pan/tilt GUI around your streaming media player SDK...works great. I can move any camera on any vehicle and watch the video real time.

We are getting into a situation this weekend, providing observation for security, where several of our vehicles will be on a private network of high power radios, but I need to access the video stream from the internet. i am using a laptop to bridge the 2 networks.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here:

I put the media server on the laptop and created an alias for every channel on each vehicle. Putting 127.0.0.1:8080 as media server address and testing each alias, every one of them works on the laptop streaming player (and WMP).
Just for testing, I have my "Command" computer in the same network. I can pull the video strait from the vehicles, but I can't pull any video from the laptop's media server. I get a media server doesn't respond error. I have 192.168.123.100:8080 as the media server address (laptop's IP), and using the same alias as I use on the laptop itself (example, one is red100).

So on the laptop, I can pull video through the laptop's media server, but on the command computer I can't pull video through the laptop's media server.
All other data functions are being pulled through the laptop, so it is not a connection issue. I have a settng wrong but I can't figure out what is wrong.

This is clearly a conectivity issue.
Make sure port 8080 is open on the laptop's firewall.
Make sure you can telnet 192.168.123.100 8080 from command computer.

I have setup something like this on a private (192.168.1.x) network. I installed media server on a private IP machine and have 2 broadcasts
point to it. then i setup a media server on a public IP and used deligate live broadcast and point to the public IP that the router serves the
private network then opened in the port forwarding in the router for port 5119 to point to the private IP of the media server in the private network

works great for me. I also with this setup run a archive server to record the 2 feeds without useing up public internet bandwith unless someone
from the outside wishes to view the streams.
