redirection an cloacking ports

[Goosemaster]

Basically, I am Using Beyond TV, a nice PVR program. I would like to stream live TV and my recorded shows so I can stream them at school, but unfortunately my school blocks ports 8080 and 1755 which I need.


I want to link a subdomain to a port. For example: How can I link tv.mydomain.com to mydomain.com:8129?


THis guy makes it sound like I can mask the ports as well.

well, is it possible?

I have IIS ruuning on a server, and installed the ISAPI_rewrite program, but I'm aftaid it is out of my league, unless someone can help me out.

As for the DNS, I am somewhat lost in creativing the T zone. I made a bew zone and called it tv.mydomain.com, but I am not sure if htat will work.

I do own a domain by the way

If you are running SS on the same box as your web server (and in my case webmail server as well) it is possible to consolidate all of those different servers onto the same port using a software package ISAPI_Rewrite (www.isapirewrite.com). This package works with MS IIS web server - I am not sure if Apache can do the same (it may be limited to URL re-write rather than proxying).

In my case I have used the ISAPI plug-in to IIS to proxy external calls to both my webmail and Snapstream admin page.

I can now type:
www.domain.com to access the web
tv.domain.com to access snapstream
webmail.domain.com to access webmail

the ISAPI filter on the front of MS IIS (web server) then proxies these requests within my local area network to ports 80, 8129 and 8000 respectively.

This allows me to exit the corporate network on port 80 without having to worry about the ports that each application dishes information from (IIS consolidate all requests through port 80).

As my corporate firewall has ports 80 and 8080 open I can access web based services and watch streaming live tv at the same time.

Hope this helps anyone who is also doing the all-in-one box for the home (TV, Mail, Web).

In the dns zone entry, just put in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8129/<whereveryour tv program is>, unless you have a dynamic IP, then use the domain name.
Set your server's configuration to listen to 8129 as well as the other ports. (I am no help with that on IIS!)

Thanks for trying. Itreid doing that but just confused myself

If the school's border routers are filtering those ports there's not much you can do about that. What you might be able to do is setup a proxy host to do some PAT, one that listens on the required ports and forwards the requests to your box on ports that aren't blocked.
