WME not opening ports at correct local IP Address

[FarmerCharlie]

I am having problems accessing streaming video from the same two Diamond VC500 USB capture cards that I used successfully last year in the same computer. Now WindowsMedia Encoder doesn't seem to be opening the ports at the correct local IP address, and I cannot access the streams even on the same computer. I am using a static IP address of 192.168.1.20 (the same as last year). In the encoding setup the correct IP address shows up, but after I setup the stream, if I try to access them using 192.168.1.20:8080 or 8082, I get a
"The webpage cannot be displayed" error message.

This is what Netstat -an shows for the two ports:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:8082 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
The IP addresses show up as 0.0.0.0 instead of 192.168.1.20

NetStat does show some other ports open at the correct address, including these:
TCP 192.168.1.20:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 192.168.1.20:139 192.168.1.100:4633 ESTABLISHED

Note: I also have an AverMedia NV3000 card installed in the same computer (the same as last year).
Using Port 80 I can successfully access that video both on my LAN and across the Internet.

So far as I can tell nothing has changed on the computer since I used the same two cards last year.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Charlie

Check your software firewall settings

Check your hardware firewall or router settings

I have Windows firewall disabled.
I also have the router set to forward the two ports.
But I can't access them even on the same computer using the local 192.168.1.20 IP address.

Also, I can access other ports (such as port 80) with no problem. Something seems to be preventing WME from opening the ports at the specified IP address.

Try VLC on the same ports to see if it can stream the video
