Windows Media Player 11 is blocked by Time Capsule router

[Andreas]

I'm using a PC Laptop with XP Home Edition Service pack 3 connected through
WLAN via a dual band Apple Time Capsule. The problem is this;

When I try to view web-TV or web-radio through websites that uses Windows
Media Player embedded I can't connect to the selected media. It will buffer a
couple of per cent but then completely stop. This doesn't happen when I
connect directly to the broadbands wall socket and never happened with my old
Belking router, besides when I view it through Flash Player it works like a
charm. So I am pretty sure that the Time Capsule is to blame.

I have called Apple support but they couldn't help me, because they had
never heard of a similar problem happening.

My own thinking is that is has to be a way to solve this, maybe by opening
the right ports on my Time Capsule router. The problem is I have tried to
open a lot of different ports and maybe not the right ones. Besides there is
little info available on how to open ports in the Time Capsule router. So I
am not sure that I am doing it the right way.

So the questions are;

1. Have anyone experienced the same problem? How did you solve it?
2. What ports control the Windows Media Player?
3. How do I set this up on my Time Capsule?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

I would add a third question:
What does this have to do with xml?
Did you browse through any of the posts in this group before posting
here? Did you see any other questions about windows media player or Time
Capsule router?

Please post this to a more appropriate newsgroup, such as
microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player where you can find more directed
answers. This is entirely the wrong place for your message.
