====Question or Symptom====
I've got a DSL connection with NAT set up for multiple machines and I
can't connect to a Quicktime 4 server.


====Resolution====
From Apple's tech library--
  
" For Network Address Translation (NAT) Server Users
If you have a home or small business network in which several computers
are connected to the Internet through an ISDN, ADSL, cable modem, or other 
high speed connection, you may run into problems accessing QuickTime movies
streamed with the RTP/RTSP protocol. If your access device performs network
address translation, allowing multiple computers at your site to share a 
single IP address, then you will either need that router to understand RTSP
or you will have to use HTTP as a transport mechanism."
  
To use the HTTP protocal instead of the RTSP protocol select Preferences in
your QuickTime Player, then choose streaming transport and choose the
Use HTTP, port 80 button instead of the Use RTP, UDP button.
