    If the Player supports the protocol that you used in the URL and you still can't play the content, verify that the Player is configured to use all of its supported protocols.
    To configure protocol settings
    1.In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.
    2.In the Options dialog box, on the Network tab, in the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes (Multicast, UDP, TCP, and HTTP), so that a check mark is displayed in each.

    Note that the supported protocols can be used only to stream digital media files. Windows Media Player cannot be used as a browser.
    If the above fixes don't work, you can rename the networking information folder for the Player so that it can rebuild its networking information files after you restart it.
    To rename the Player networking information folder
    1.Close Windows Media Player. (To do this, on the File menu, click Exit.)
    2.Click Start, and then click Run.
    3.In the Run dialog box, type the following (exactly as shown):
    %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media
    This step opens the following folder on your computer:
    SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\UserProfileName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media
    4.In this folder, rename the folder 10.0 to 10.0.bak. For more information about renaming folders, see To change the name of a file or folder.
    5.Start the Player and try to stream the content again.
