Mike,
You are correct in saying that we can rule out a university-
level firewall. However, it is possible that your OSX 10.5 Mac itself
has different settings from your older Mac. One obvious place to look
is the Security System Preference tab called Firewall. Try allowing
all connections. Also, within QuickTime there are several relevant
settings. Unfortunately, since my system has never had exactly this
type of problem, I am not sure which of the various QuickTime settings
to suspect. However, to check these out, you open QuickTime and then
QuickTime Preferences and look at the Streaming and Advanced Tabs.
For Streaming you want either Automatic or else the option closest to
your connection speed. For Advanced, the main issue is the MIME
Settings. Just check to see if these are the same between your old
Mac and the new Mac.
I realize that this last part of checking QuickTime settings may
be a bit of a wild goose chase. Perhaps Leonid has some more cogent
suggestions. But this is all I can think of right away. In any case,
this is definitely nothing inherent in OSX 10.5, since I have been
using that successfully with WebData all over the world for well over
a year.
By the way, you may notice that your files are looking more and
more like "real CA". However, it is possible that, in this
transition, some codes were dropped. If you see anything crucially
missing, please tell me and we can fix it.
Cheers,
--Brian
