[vortex-bug] Bug with Darwin Streaming Server

Thanks for quick reply, Bogdan!

Ok, the problem is not that black and white as I first sayed, because the streams 
get trough with mac Quicktime client, but not every time. About every fifth time. 
And PC clients aren't getting anything.

And I did some network monitoring from the client side:

Log about streams going via http port 80: http://gamma.nic.fi/~terokoi/logfile.pdf    
(20 kt)

That log file is from the QuickTime 4.1.2 Mac (OS 9.0.4) client succesfully receiving a 
port 80 stream from my DSS streaming server. I have pointed out the position where 
it gets idle if it's not going to receive  a stream at all.

Hope that logfile helps.

I don't have firewall at my office and my server provider tried to connect right from 
the serverroom (with pc client) without success.
