You can also easily solve this by using a WVX file, which are ASX files for
WMVs.
IE is handing off the URL directly to WMP. If the Port25 plug-in doesn't do
what you want, you would need to use a WVX file. That's what it's for. =)

I'm linking directly to a WMV file (not embedding it into an html
page) like <a href="http://myserver.com/somepath/video.wmv";>Watch
this</a> . The server isn't doing anything to stream it, it's just
serving up the file.
In IE, WMP is launched and the video begins playback immediately
(progressive download i guess).
In Firefox, WMP is launched but before playback begins, Firefox
downloads the entire file.
In both cases, the request is passed off to WMP, so why the
difference?
