windows media player

Hello, when Im on a web site and click a link to watch a video whendows media player starts and I get an error.
The error says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."

I Hit more info and it brings up windows help to the section "C00D11B3: Encountered a network error"

I tried everything in that section and nothing works.

If I download the file it will play. I don't want to download the files all the time.

Windows XP Home
Windows media Player 10

 

Here are 2 links maybe you can find what your looking for there
http://search.microsoft.com/search/...n-us&qu=C00D11B3:+Encountered+a+network+error

http://search.microsoft.com/search/...work+and+that+your+proxy+settings+are+correct

Depends on what version of WMP you have. But the first link has info on errors for wmp 9 & 10

 

Thanks for your reply!!

They are the same as the help file for WM Player.

I tried what they say with no help.
I'm also wondering if it is with IE 6

Thanks
Matt

 

If you are behind a firewall, try turning off the firewall and try again.

 

Your right it is my Norton internet security!!!
I turned it off and no problems.
I wonder what changed?
I'll have to play with that.
Thanks!!

Any sugestions would be apreciated

thanks, Matt
