Newbie question about on-demand and ports

Post by rid »

I have been looking at various Shoutcast providers for on-demand. I signed up with a couple to compare their services and both give me a URL and a specific port number. Being the IT guy at work, I immediately saw that my on-demand demo files were being blocked at the firewall.
Questions: Do all on-demand services come tied to a specific port? If so, doesn't that make it extremely difficult to webcast to office workers? What have others done when they ran in to this problem?
Thanks in advace.

typically on demand providers should allow access via the port 80 service port. This will allow most workers to get access to the content.

Moving to Audio Streaming
