How to Find an IP Address & Port of a Windows Media Audio Stream

The IP address of a computer broadcasting an audio stream across the Internet is its unique identification number that can be used to access the computer. The stream is broadcast to your computer through a range of port numbers in your firewall. Knowing this information can help you to better customize your Internet security preferences. This can be accomplished using a combination of external tools and the settings in Windows Media Player.
