    I want to listen to the radio on line. When i go to (say) the r.t.e. website and click on the relevant box, quicktime opens as my default media player, but it says i'm disconnected. I'm actually connected to the internet all the time...so what's going on?
    Any ideas?

    The RTE website streams radio in RealPlayer format. Quicktime may have trouble opening the stream.

    You need Real Player for the .smil stream from RTE / BBC etc.
    The BBC Audio help site is Here

    For the quicktime issue:
    Un-associate QuickTime with the extension type .smil. Quicktime will not open these files. To un-associate it, open the QuickTime player, go to edit, then preferences, QuickTime preferences, Plug-In tab, Mime settings, expand "video", highlight "smil 1.0 File" , untick the box or whatever (If you have more than one version of SMIL or another version of SMIL, Repeat the same instructions for each instance of SMIL). Then instruct Real Player to open SMIL files. Open RealOne Player -> Preferences -> Media Types. Under SMIL, select "Always play with RealOne Player", and click OK.
    Log out and back in.
    Play around with that and see how you get on.
    Come back to us if you still have a problem.
