3 Insert the following lines in the streamingadminserver.conf file:
ssl=0
bind=<IP address to bind to>
4 Save the file as a plain text file (not .rtf or other format).
5 For the change to take effect, kill the Streaming Server Admin process and then restart
the server.
How do I bind QTSS or DSS to a single IP address if my machine is
multihomed?
The bind_ip_addr property in the streamingserver.xml file tells the server what IP address it
should accept. For example, a value of zero in
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">0<PREF>
means that all IP addresses are enabled for the server.
To specify a single IP address:
1 Log in to the server as an administrator.
2 Open the streamingserver.xml file and look for the bind_ip_addr property. The file is in the
following locations:
QTSS 4:
/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/streamingserver.xml
DSS 4 ( Windows):
\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server\streamingserver.xml
DSS 4 (other supported platforms):
/etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
3 Replace the zero with the IP address to which you wish to bind (for example, 192.168.1.1):
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">192.168.1.1<PREF>
4 Save the file as a plain text file (not .rtf or other format).
5 For the change to take effect, kill the QTSS or DSS processes that are running and then
restart the server.
