     You will be able to get better performmance if you use realplayer

      The following is from the Firewall FAQ at www.real.com
      
   You may also want to use a proxy server in conjunction with a
   network-level firewall.

   Do one of the following:

        Open ports 6970 - 7170 in your firewall for UDP.
        Open ports 7070 - 7071 and 554 in your firewall for TCP and
        instruct Players to use TCP for all content. Playback quality will
        not be as good with this option.
        Configure your firewall to receive UDP through only one port and
        instruct Players to use UDP with the port you chose.
        Tell users to configure RealPlayer to request that RealServer
        send all media in HTTP format. This creates more overhead on
        your network than any of the other options.
