properly embedding an sdp file

So I read a bit on Apple's site about how to embed an sdp stream into html. I opened the stream in quicktime, saved it as a self contained movie, then copied that .mov file to my webserver. It works great if I connect from the webserver ie localhost/mystream.html. However, if I connect to 10.0.1.122/mystream.html it says shows a quicktime logo with a question mark in the middle of it. Any ideas?
I am embeding the file with the following code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
QT_WriteOBJECT("mystream.mov", "640", "480", '');
</script>
Thanks

Here's what you need. First though, you need a QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin running. Also a web server of course. You need a properly formatted and hinted QuickTime streaming file and a JPG frame grab or something to use as a QuickTime Poster (the link you will click to start the movie).
Also, in the code we embed twice, once for Macs and once for Windows.

Here's a link to a working example:

Here's the code:
