Streaming a stream... possible?

[cjermyn]

Hi all,

Is it possible for me to stream a web stream over a network such that everyone in an office is able to access this stream locally while only the server is connected to the web stream?

In other words, I want the Bloomberg TV feed streaming throughout our office, but in terms of bandwidth, only the server is actually connected to it.

If this is possible, how do I go about doing it?

Many thanks in advance!!

EDIT: FYI, the stream I am referring to is http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveAS_nb.asx

You might need Windows media server to broadcast your stream. We have something similar at work where we stream media.

Hmmm... we're on Windows Server 2003 here, which apparently includes Windows Media Services / Media Server, but I wouldn't have the first foggiest idea how to implement it!

How to set up Windows Media Services 9 Series to use HTTP streaming on port 80 with IIS 6.0 installed

Thanks for your help HKSturboKID... I'd love to say I wasn't in waaay over my head here, but I am!

So, let me check I've got this right:

Add the IP addresses that you want Http.sys to listen to. The addresses that Http.sys does not listen to are available for WMS to use. (If this list is blank, Http.sys listens to all non-loopback IP addresses).

This would be http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveAS_nb.asx? Or would I have to convert http://www.bloomberg.com to 220.233.207.84, which is apparently bloomberg.com's IP?

Select the IP addresses that you want to deliver content over port 80.

This would be whatever IP I want people to type in to access the feed?
