Re: Very Strange Problem

Well I honestly don't know if I am losing the connection coming into the router or what is happening, all I know is that the only way I can get the internet functioning again is by unplugging the router and the modem. I am using Firefox. Someone on another board suggested that the ports that WMP is trying to use may be blocked by my ISP or my firewall. I am having a hard time figuring out what ports those are though.

I'm 22 and live by myself, so unless there is some crazy person spying on my and breaking into my computer, I don't think that there is any sort of filtering software installed.

What web browser are you using? Is Windows Media Player totally up to date, etc?

I dunno what to say...that's a pretty bizarre situation. Maybe you have some funky filter (i.e. Webnanny) buried on your computer somewhere and it's not letting you connect to any streamed material.
