Windows Media Player

[claymca]

Windows media player is not connecting to the internet. Have the newest version. It won't play streaming video and the media guide just says get an internet connection to enjoy windows media player. What is the problem?

Is a firewall blocking it?

 

[claymca]

No I don't think it is. I had the same firewall before and it worked fine. Then one day it stopped connecting to the internet. I will take a look at the firewall settings. The firewall I use is Zone alarm pro the free version.

I would like to listen to Venezuelan Radio Stations on Windows XP Windows Media player, but I believe that you can only pick stations from the US. If I am wrong, let me know how to do it
