Hi,
Im trying to connect to a stream with RealPlayer, but i keep getting the same error message : "failed to connect to server".

Even the content (sports, movies...) on the real website give me that error.

I can browse the internet no problem.
The pocket PC is connected threw my PC with USB cable.

I can stream the content with the realplayer on my PC.

I have the 2.0.0.28 version

I have the HP iPAQ rx1950 series

Any input?

Thanks!

This is the worst problem with RealPlayer. The only solution is running the PDA in a no-firewall, no-nothing zone. Then, it'll work.

(I'll elaborated on the problem and the solution at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=344&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 . I've crossposted the article here at PPCT too but can't find it now.)
