OT - FAO Jonathan

Hi again Jonathan,

Thanks to your help I have *almost* succeeded in my first live webcast using
WME to stream from my webcam/mic combo.

Here is what is going on. I start the encoder. It starts broadcasting. I
copy the URL/port address it gives me to the File...Open URL menu option in
WMP(10). WMP opens the URL and starts playback (albeit with a hilarious 5+
second web-lag). Audio and Video are what I hoped for.

Have tried twice with 2 third parties around the world, at the same time,
after emailing them the URL/port ref. Both report the following error
message -

"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 have latest ZoneAlarm and have allowed WME to act as a server and for ZA
to remember this choice.

Question is, do I need to do something at my end? Or do my broadcastees need
to alter something?
