This did not fix the problem. The media player error I am
getting is when I click on "more information"
is "0xC00D1198: Cannot connect to the server". I have
opened every port none to man!

Internet

you use their

loopback address:

applications are not

>Error Code: 0xC00D158B
>MORE INFORMATION
>For both IIS and WMS to use port 80, one of the following
two conditions
>must be true:
> a.. One (1) network adapter has at least 2 IPs bound to
the adapter.
> b.. Two (2) network adapters have at least 1 IP bound
to each adapter.
>If either of these conditions is true, follow these steps
to configure the
>listener:
> 1.. From a command prompt, type the appropriate command
to stop the
>following services:
> a.. Windows Media Services: net stop wmserver
> b.. Internet Information Services: net stop iisadmin
> c.. Http.sys Listener: net stop http
> 2.. Run the WMSHttpSysCfg utility (located at
>%systemroot%\system32\windows
media\server\admin\mmc\WMSHttpSysCfg.exe).
> 3.. Add the IP addresses that you want Http.sys to
listen to. The
>addresses that Http.sys does not listen to are available
for WMS to use. (If
>this list is blank, Http.sys listens to all non-loopback
IP addresses).
> 4.. Click OK to close the dialog box.
> 5.. Restart the services that you stopped in step 1
(including, but not
>limited to):
> a.. Http.sys Listener: net start http
> b.. World Wide Web Publishing Service or IIS Admin:
net start w3svc
> c.. Windows Media Services: net start wmserver
> 6.. Configure WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol:
> 1.. Start WMS Admin MMC.
> 2.. Select the server name.
> 3.. Click the Properties tab, and then click Control
Protocols.
> 4.. If it is not already disabled (or if it is In
Error), right-click
>WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol, and then click Disable.
> 5.. Right-click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol, and
then click
>Properties.
> 6.. Click Allow selected IP addresses to use this
protocol.
> 7.. Select the IP addresses that you want to deliver
content over port
>80.
>
> NOTE: Do not select the same IP addresses as the ones
that you added to
>the Http.sys listener in step 3, otherwise the plug-in
might go into an

> 8.. Set the plug-in to Use default port (80).
> 9.. Click Apply, and then click OK to close the
dialog box.
> 10.. Right-click WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol,
and then click
