I want to put a streaming windows media file on a web page. I am able to get the file to play off the internet but the computer has to download the whole file before it plays.

I want the file to start playing as soon as the page loads. and i want it to be dialup friendly.

is there a way like realplayer wehre you can write a text document directing to the WMA file or something or do I need to convert the original file so that it will stream.

Windows servers should be able to stream a WMA file, talk to you administrator to set it up
