<![CDATA[Is 1:1 NAT needed for a LAN PC using windows media encoder for streams?]]>I hope I word this right. I feel like such a N00b having to ask this. Ok here is the scenario;

I have a computer on LAN 172.15.1.120 that is using windows media encoder to stream live video on port 8120.
I have a NAT rule allowing all, any port to dest 172.15.1.120 port 8120. I have a rule on the WAN
TCP/UDP  any any 172.15.1.120  8120 any

I don't have 1:1 NAT on anything right now. I'm not exactly sure what the use of it is anymore. Been awhile since I used pfsense! The Webpage is pointing to "scr=http://WANIP:8120 which it should still be routed to the internal lan destination correct?

Also the Firewallrule on your WAN.

I have the port 8120 forwarded to 172.15.1.120 but it never happens.

1:1 NAT is to forward all ports at once to a single server.

I think you just want a normal port forward since your server is running on only one port.

What exactly is the problem?
Can you not connect?
