ASF, WMP9, Mac PPC and Proxy problems
"Nick" <g2k[ at ]condenast..co.uk> 15.06.2007 08:25:01
Hi,

I'm trying to get streaming media working on a mac Power PC (OSX) from
within a corporate LAN. All traffic is passed to a (Blue Coat) n proxy
server and then forwarded out.

I have downloaded F4M and I think I'm getting closer to the answer.. just
not quite there. As opposed to receiving a 'not recognized' message I now
just get a white box and I'm seeing the connection on our proxy logs to,
say, the bbc but I just can't get the vid to play. It's like the connection
is initiated and then dropped/lost. It seems to me that it's either the
proxy not knowing where to send the stream to or the mac not knowing that it
should still be listening...

Ask any questions if you want to know more. Thanks for any ideas and help.

Nick

Did you enter all the proper proxy information in the Network prefpane
(including ports)??
