Windows 2000 security feature??? Don't Know

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Hello Group:

We may have a solution here. This following message is an answer to this
same post at another newsgroup:

>>>>>>>>>>>start message

The error message page you are directed to indicates, most likely, a problem
with the proxy server settings between IE and your system's.
FIX: Update to behaviors of certain proxy servers on Windows Media Player 9
Series
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;839340

Could also be a firewall issue:
User Datagram Protocol does not work with some firewall packet inspection
routines
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;839221

Less likely, but possibly a third-party software conflict:
Windows Media Player May Not Play Audio Files from Web Server If Third-Party
Players Are Installed
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;320280
(check your registry as mentioned)

One problem I noticed on the site you referenced was that to play the
stream, I had to disable my pop-up blocker - so check to see if that's your
problem, too.

If no joy with the above, hopefully a WMP MVP will see your post in the WMP
group and have better answers for you.
