Help on Windows Media Player 11 for live radio streaming

Mohiul · #1 February 25, 2007, 05:03 PM

Hi there!

I failed to listen BD vs Ber last match live on radio streaming. When I click the link of this address mms://abs-m1.act2000.net/abs, Windows Media Player opens but giving me this 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."

For your kind consideration I'm using Tiscali dial-up broadband & Norton Internet Security 2006 is installed in my system.

Please help me out of this problem.

I experienced the same problem with abs radio. I could not even play the link from many website which provided abs radio link.

Other radio station even in Antigua (observer radio) was fine.

I don't know what to do?

I had the same problem. Used Microsoft's web services to try and fix it, but failed.

Miraz bhai, which other radio station were you using?

I just searched ALV player on download.com but didn't find anything. Searched it on Google, and found something. But not sure if it's reliable enough!

Okay, I have not heard the term dial-up broadband before. Is it DSL or ADLS connection? Do you have a router?
