Windows Streaming Media Server Ports

I installed Windows Streaming Media Services and it seems to be working fine, but the port I'm using must be wrong.

The problem is that you can access it from within the firewall (LAN), but eventhough I have port 1755 open, you cannot access it from outside the firewall (WAN).

The way I'm am accessing it from within is:
mms://server/Torn Apart
(the name of the computer is "server")

And from outside:
mms://haywardwebdesign.com/Torn Apart

I know that all DNS stuff for my domain is set up correctly, as haywardwebdesign.com has been up since May 2003.

Does MMS use some other port, possibly a random one? What am I missing? This is driving me crazy; the trichotillomania will set in soon.

P.S. -- I've watched all the educational presentations about this provided by microsoft, and looked in their support forums for this problem. Nothing has helped, yet.
