Cannot play streaming Audio

I need to listen to audio presentations from companies when they are
reporting financial info. It is done through there website and they use
windows media and real player for the audio. I can listen to it through
real player, however I can't through windows media. I can never connect, it
always says attempting to reconnect and then stops. Then it tries to
reconnect again. I cannot figure out what settings I have wrong. Any help
is appreciated.

The primary question will come up to anyone reading this post, is
are you on DSL, Cable or dial-up??? If you're on dial-up, the streaming
audio will be buffering which is very slow. You can make WMP your
default player if you wish and probably recommended.
