By saying the IP address is "different":
1) Is your machine multihomed?
2) You do know that local Playlists created by the Streaming Web Admin
use 127.0.0.1 as the "localhost" IP address to transmit their broadcast.
127.0.0.1 is functionally the same as whatever your local address. Are you
thinking that 127.0.0.1 is a different address? What exactly were you seeing.
Lastly, there is sort of a work-around for QTSS 3.0.2, but you can't use
the Streaming Web Admin to launch the playlists.
The basic problem has to do with the fact that the Web Admin uses the server's
"announce" feature, and maintains a connection that way. The .sdp file is
generated at run-time, and copied to the Movies directory. If the PLB connection
has a hiccup or other problem, then when the session gets closed the .sdp
gets deleted. That's why you were getting a 404 not found. You can work-around
this if you're willing to go to the command-line, and launch the Playlist .config
files yourself by hand, without using the Announce feature:
root# cd /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Playlists/playlist_directory)
root# PlaylistBroadcaster playlist.config
This will serve the Playlist to your server over UDP without the announce
protocal, and you won't get the occasional hiccup where the PLB get's
disconnected. Additionally though, you can't use the Web Admin to
start/stop a Playlist that you've started up from the commandline, but
at least it should work for you and not stop after awhile.

>The IP address for the Server was set to work on our network - however the IP address for the "Streaming Server Admin" (in the dock) is different. While "poking" around I've discovered that several of the PLAYLIST files contain the address of the "Streaming Server Admin." Is there a way to fix this? could it be the cause of a problem? or does it not matter?
