Hi,
Actually the problem is in one domain IF I give it the correct credentials
(which I am fine with) it will connect and "attempt" to play but it gets
caught on "buffering" and just stops. It works in one domain and not the
other. The absolutely only difference between the ISA in the domains is the
problem one uses 8080 for the Firewall Client (default) and the other uses
port 80 for the Firewall Client.
I will have to do further testing.
Cheers,
Lara
