if am on the same wireless router as my laptop i need to click on server uses ssl in the client program is that normal ? if am in 3G internet mode connecting to knots should i also tick the same option to hear my media ?
You don't need to use SSL if you don't want to. Under server settings, make sure Use authentication without SSL is set to Yes and Use SSL (enables authentication) is set to No.

SSL only encrypts the traffic between your machine and the client, but it slows down the client a bit. It shouldn't affect the streaming, because video streams aren't encrypted.

So did you get it working with picture/sound in your home network? If so, 3g should work too if you opened/forwarded ports 1978 and 19780-19790. You can test your network settings with a browser, just start a video stream using the Browser profile, click on the 'Hide window' button, go to Settings and click on 'Check server accessibility from the internet'.
