Network Monitor 3.4 is available from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4865. Make sure that the protocol is not being filtered by the VPN (typically WMP will use either port 554 for RTSP or 80 for HTTP). The trace should also show you things like name resolution is happening, TCP port connections, and that you're getting a valid response from WMS. If you need assistance with this you can open a support case at http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?Gprid=3170.

However today I keep getting the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred". I am connected to the internet and have gone into the proxy settings within Windows Media Player and windows media have set the HTTP and RTSP settings to autodetect, but still no luck. I've tried a couple of different web sites, so I don't think that's the issue. I'd greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks. kschrad, Mar 17, 2009 #1 Sponsor Phantom010 Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 9, 2009 Messages: 34,572 Try this: In Windows Media Player, click the ‘Tools' menu and select ‘Options'. Click the ‘Network' tab. Select a protocol, click ‘Configure' and then select ‘Autodetect proxy windows media player settings' or ‘Use proxy settings of the Web browser' (available for HTTP protocol only). Do this for each protocol. NOTE: If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, you might not be able to choose the proxy server. For more information, consult with your internet service provider (ISP). If you are still receiving streaming errors, try a different protocol on the player. Go to the settings tab and select "Pop1 (http)" on the media servers drop down list (or "mms" if you are already on http). If a different "Pop" is available for that channel, try that too.

I'm a novice so I apologize, but the next step you suggested was to try a different protocol on the player.....I can't find the Settings tab that allows me to select "Pop1"....is assume Settings is somewhere within WIndows Media Player? kschrad, Mar 17, 2009 #3 kschrad Thread Starter Joined: Dec 9, 2008 Messages: 12 also, when i looked at allowed programs through Windows firewall...I do not have Windows Media Player allowed....should it be? I can't imagine that I changed that setting somehow.... kschrad, Mar 17, 2009 #4 Phantom010 Trusted Advisor Joined: Mar 9, 2009 Messages: 34,572 Try turning off yo
