sounds like firewall issues still, something is blocking media player from getting to the content. make sure the windows firewall has not turned itself on and check through your norton settings again.

I don't think this is a firewall issue. It sounds to me like a windows media licensing issue. I suspect that if you copy the shortcut and paste it into VLan, it will play fine.

Go VLAN :01: . I usually don't get problems with WMP. Is there Quicktime? or Real?
