NW6.5 sp6 BM3.8 sp5_IR1

The only means for us to view the videos from this site is to unload
the filters. I spoke with the website tech folks and they insist they
are streaming on port 80.

'NASA - NASA-International Space Station Multimedia'
(http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/s...edia/index.html)

Attempted 'netstat' from a local workstation as it loaded the video,
but it did not reveal any other port useage.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Never believe the tech support guys on the phone when the evidence
contradicts them. I tried a stream just now, and wireshark tells me
they are using RTSP, not through the proxy. You can set up a stateful
filter exception for tcp port 554 and that should get the videos
working. (I show an example in my filtering book - see the URL below).
