Every time I play an mpeg file, Media Player says "Connecting" for
about 3 seconds before it plays the actual file, does anyone know how
to stop it from doing this? It gets pretty annoying to have to wait
when you're trying to play different files.

I can't speak for WMP as I use Classic Media Player - all the
goodness without the unnecessary packaging!

If you have a firewall like ZoneAlarm you can set it so that WMP has
to ask for access. You can also, like me, use an alternative.
