I have setup windows media server in windows 2003, published video, and
publsihed HTML file using IIS.
Everything works in LAN using http://IP ADDRESS
if I configure a PUBLIC IP and put it outside of my LAN, can't watch from
different computer.
It sounds like Media Server need a HOST record on the network to be able to
play.
WHY?
I should be able to just HTTP://HOST-IP to watch the video.

No, it doesn't require a DNS entry. Make sure you've added the media
services executable to the firewall exception list in server 2003.

There's lots of other useful information in that document too, which
you should read to ensure your firewall and routing are correct.

Well, my media server is outside the firewall, I tried from 2 computer
plugged into the same switch outside of the firewall, as well as PC in my
LAN.
If I put IP Address of the media server to my HOSTS file of any PC
no problem at all.
I have 2 computer outside firewalll (on the same switch), trying to watch
video from the pc outside the firewall is the same problem, unless I put
MEDIA server IP address to PC's hosts file
So it has nothing to do firewall, so, web client (IE6) trying to open the
streaming video, somehow referencing a host name that it needs.

Another thing is that I can watch the video using
mms://IP-ADDRESS no problem, from anywhere.
Just HTTP://IP-ADDRESS is the problem unless I add a HOSTS record on local
host file of the PCs.
