Here's the status with all of the information that I can pull together. I'm
stuck.

1) QTSS Server is running
2) Streaming on port 80 is enabled.
3) I've stopped and started the playlist, and it's playing (it says).
4) My mountpoint is /chuckbo

5) My personal web sharing is OFF
6) In fact, the only service I have running is Personal File Sharing. (Don't
I need that running if I want to network machines? Does file sharing
interfere with QTSS, too?)
7) The firewall is OFF
8) Internet sharing is OFF
9) For my general settings:
SSL is NOT enabled
Max # of connections is 2
Max throughput is 200 Mbps (really wasn't sure what number to put here
-- I don't remember finding any guidelines))

10) In my airport administration, I have port mapping for
  Public port         Private IP address    Private port
     80                 10.0.1.201              80
    554                 10.0.1.201              554
    7070                10.0.1.201              7070
(the Airport Admin document doesn't suggest whether these IP addresses
should be the same or different.)

11) I cannot connect to the a stream at http://ipaddress/~chuckbo
12) I cannot connect to the a stream at http:/ipaddress/chuckbo
13) I cannot connect to the a stream at http:/ipaddress:8000/chuckbo
14) I cannot connect to the a stream at http:/ipaddress:8000/~chuckbo

15) My Chuckboradio.err file lists a whole bunch of Preflighting lines and
ends with
- MP3Broadcaster found 0 problem MP3 files.
Warnings: 0
Errors: 0
- MP3Broadcaster: Started in background.
Preflighting
Setting required frequency to 44KHz
16) My Chuckboradio.current file lists an mp3 file from my library, and it
does change every few minutes.


Conclusions:
1) QTSS is working, and the playlist is really playing songs.
2) I am unable to open a connection either at work, in iTunes on this same
machine, or on another Mac I have networked from home on the internet.
3) I am unable to determine where the failure point is; i.e., I'm not sure
how to determine whether the problem is another machine trying to connect or
whether the problem is this machine sending anything to the internet.

Chuck:

You don't want to turn on Web Sharing if you have enabled Port 80
streaming on QTSS. Two different services can't run on the same IP
address/Port number.

From a previous posting to the list from Billy Brown:

Port forwarding should also work, but you would need to forward not
just 554 and 80, but also UDP ports 6970-6999
(minimally at least 6970, 6971, 6972, 6973 if you are serving content
that use at most 2 tracks, Audio/Video).

Typically it is best to place a public streaming server on the
Internet and assign it a dedicated static address that is public (ie.
not behind a NAT firewall using 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x).  Also, most
firewall issues people have
is when the QT Client is behind a firewall/NAT, etc.  By placing your
server behind a NAT, it can make things more difficult to setup and
now doubly compounds the problem (ie. at times both a QT Client and
your server are behind separate NATs)

If you minimally turn on port forwarding on your NAT router for port
80, and you have "Streaming Enabled on port 80", then remote QT
Clients should be able to stream if they have their Streaming
Transports set to use Port 80 (ie. HTTP).
