Connection time out on Realplayer?

Hi all
I'm trying to stream video to the N80 from a Real media server. This server is on the internet with a public ip address of site to my office. It streams .rm and .3gp files fine to a laptop on wlan in my office ok but not to the N80 on the same wlan? I just get (connection time out)
The N80 can view a web page on the server ok and if I upload the same .rm files to the phone via usb they play fine. So its not the file format.

The phone will play the Orb test stream ok. So the network setting on the phone must be ok.

Just to confuse matters more I have a streaming server on site and if I put the same file on there and enter its internal url in the N80 it works fine!

can anyone please help!

I had months of trouble streaming audio and video untill I set up port triggering (not forwarding) on my home router Port no. 554. Not a single problem since!
