Hello,

I am using WMP version 10 with windows XP pro. I keep getting this error
message:

C00D11B3: Encountered a network error
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the Player encountered a
network error. You might encounter this error message for one of the
following reasons:

The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online).
Try again later.
You are not connected to the local area network (LAN) or to the Internet.
Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.
The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly. Verify
that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.
To verify your proxy server settings
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Network tab, and then verify
your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area.
Notes

If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the Network
tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy
settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser (available for HTTP
protocol only).

I have tried everything that the help topic has instructed me to do.
Nothing seems to work. I have even tried to set my proxy settings to every
possible combination of settings and this has become very frustrating because
I cannot listen to live streaming as a result. Does anyone know what I can
do???

Thank you! Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Sorry I forgot to leave the following info in my last post:

The link to the content I wish to access:
mms://64.71.150.30/RadioNorba

Exact version of Windows Media Player (WMP):
10.00.00.8032

Your current Operating System (OS): Office XP (I think Pro edition...does
anyone know how to find this out????)

Current Network Settings in Windows Media Player:
Autodetect settings for everything and all four protocols are checked.

Do you have a firewall running? Yes but I've disabled it and I still
encounter the problem.

I CAN play the link in mplayer2.exe

Thank you!!!
