finally made up my decision and started to set Orb up with my Windows Mobile 6.1 enabled Sprint Touch PDA phone. First of all, I did read the 10 FAQ but did not find the exact answer to my question.

1. Which TCP/UDP port does Orb 2.0 use on PC? I only find one setting that is close to this in "configuration" option. It shows port 80 for windows media streaming and port 546 or sth for RM streaming. I thought 80 port is one of the easiest ports to attach so I changed these two ports to some other random numbers and did a port forwarding set up in my linksys router. But anyway, both original and modified setting is kinda working on my phone. However, I still want an exact answer to this question and whether or not I need open the ports in Win Xp plus the router.

2. I used the software TCPMP on my phone to do the streaming. But I got tons of buffering about 10s a time when trying to play a video through Sprint's network. My speed is 560k to 830k according to the website when I logged in from the cell phone. And I set the pre-load buffer size to 7200kb and buffer percentage of 15%, but it seemed not to have much improvements. Does anyone have experience with the software? I need an optimized setting to reduce the buffering time.

Thanks
