Let me start by saying that it sounds like this question
would better be asked on the streaming-server-users
mailing list (since it doesn't pertain to developer issues
per se).
Howevever, I'll go ahead and answer it here this time.
The Streaming Server process should have been installed
on your Win2K machine as a Service. However, the streaming
Admin server (the part that listens on port 1220) does not
run as a service. Rather, it runs as a perl script. You
will need to open a Command Prompt window (like a DOS command
prompt), cd to your Darwin Streaming Server folder, and
then enter the path to your Perl interpreter binary followed
by the name of the script 'streamingadminserver.pl'
You will need to keep that Command Prompt window open and running
all the time if you intend to remotely administer the DSS server.
You definitely do not need to reinstall. You can probably get
to the Command Prompt by clicking on the small "c:\" icon that
is near the lower-right hand corner of your screen, just to the
left of the Windows 2000 Server "Start" button.
