But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The radio station feed is working for me, too. I looked at the FAQ, and if you've tried everything there, I'm at a loss.

Is the player that shows up in the popup WMP? If it's something else (like RealPlayer) then that might be the reason. If it is WMP, try going to the Tools/Options menu, and click on the Network tab. Make sure all the streaming protocols are checked.

Now that I'm paying attention, I don't think the player in pop up is WMP. The pop up window has a turner which I'm going to describe badly --on the left there's a gray circle and on the right is a smaller one and in between there are 3 buttons over the two volume buttons.

So, we need to somehow get WMP to be the default stream player, something I don't know how to do off hand.

Anyone? Bueller?

I think I might have figured it out! I went into WMP and checked "all file types" which wasn't selected before and when I tried it again this time the player in the pop up looks like WMP.

Except it's still "connecting to media", so maybe this won't work.

Well, that didn't work. It looks right but it still won't play.

Oh well. Right now I'm following the game via the nhl's play by play and the sunsports lightning forum.

I cant get to my AOL mail, because it isn't available by my version of Explorer. So I tried to download Firefox, but it doesn't open.

I'm fucked, right?

askye, do you have a firewall or anything else that might be blocking that type of live streaming transmission?

So I have an iMac, G3, 10.1 OS. I'm told I cant upgrade to Tiger, I cant get to AOL mail because Explorer is too old and cant upgrade because they stopped upgrading for mac.

Firefox is downloaded, but wont open. it's a .dmg file and I dont understand what that means. So, I just spent an assload on broadband, and cant do one of two things I use the net for...reading my email.

Help. Me.
