Unfortunately RTSP doesn't work well over NATs, because of all of the 
explicit port numbers and IP addresses that are present in RTSP 
requests and response.

However, if your client requests RTP-over-RTSP (i.e., receiving RTP 
packets over the RTSP TCP connection), then it will probably be able 
to receive the stream, provided that it is able to make the initial 
RTSP connection to the server.

So, I suggest that you configure your client to request RTP-over-RTSP 
streaming.
