Adobe Cirrus (Stratus) doesn't work if user have local network

I am developing flash p2p chat. It works fine on my friends' computers (they can chat each other), but not on mine. The problem is that I have local network at home, and I think that Flash Player tries to ma开发者_JAVA技巧ke p2p requests to peers inside my local network.

Can I check if user have local network in AS3 and up the level of network to the WWW?

Any ideas are welcome!

Thank you.

Did you set your router to block outgoing UDP packets? The problem could be the firewall, not the local ip address.

I think this page will help you to figure out and to solve the problem, especially the Firewall traversal section. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/rtmfp_cirrus_app.html

I can't think of any way to determine if user is in local network with flash player on a web browser. But it might be just okay to let user to configure firewall or TURN proxy, or to provide downloadable script/program which does the same thing. :')

Good luck!
