IE Security Blocking WMP Streaming?

[cellist]

I've opened an issue in Windows Media Player list,
news:e5d091f2-bc0a-45a5...@microsoft.com. Would someone be
able to take a look at this from the perspective of a possible IE security
issue? Could adding one or more of the sites as a trusted site (see the
pathnames of the http files) possibly fix the problem?

TIA,

Phil

Why didn't you post your follow-up
(http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player/browse_frm/thread/6c0f9a81aec1cfa2)
in a reply to the original thread
(http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player/browse_frm/thread/f39857de36b288da)?

Why do I get error code C00D1197 when I try to play a file on the Internet?

That post was getting no response in the WMP group. The follow-up got
several responses, one of which seems to point to a possible browser issue.
So, I consider the original post dead. It seems to make more sense to post
the security question in the IE group.

I've looked at several flavors of that article -- wm9 wm10 wm11 and others.
I took the steps indicated and still have the problem.

I looked randomly at several of these, nothing seemed to apply to my
situation -- or seems to offer anything new to what I've already considered.

I then narrowed the group down using C00D1197 + msft OR mvp AND IE OR
security, which gave me 14 articles to look at. None of them helped.

No matter. Stick with your current thread. Looks like my colleague Neil's
got you pointed in the right direction.

Remember, please, that all of us, including MVPs, are volunteers and lead
busy lives outside of the newsgroups and forums.

I've just spent 4 days and perhaps 5-6 hours troubleshooting this problem. I
spent probably 45 minutes attempting to find out how to include a link
(news:blah-bl...@microsoft.com) in my post, specifically to save a
resonder's time by not having to search the group directly. Not that the
effort I've expended in any way justifies my expecting you to waste valuable
time, time that I might help you avoid simply by doing a better job of
documenting my question. On the contrary I appreciate the help you've (yes,
you personally) given me in the past as well as help given by other who share
their knowledge -- expert or not -- on these newgroups.

Regarding the question posted here, I truly believed (and still believe)
that referencing the original post would have been WASTING others' time, not
saving them any time. The original contained on information from anyone else,
and the information I provided there was in one form or another repeated in
my follow-up. Perhaps follow-up is the word that causing the misunderanding;
it really wasn't a follow-up, but rather a re-posting to see if someone would
take a look at it. In any event, if I am mistaken, then I hope you will
consider my error one of judgement, not one of laziness.

I spent 35+ years in "the industry" before I retired a few years ago. Most
of my expertise has vanished, or rather has lost any relevance to today's
technology. So you are correct in implying that I'm not very busy outside of
the forums, at least not busy in the sense that I have a job that I'm being
paid for and that happens to coincide well with the expertise that people are
seeking here.

So, again, I truly regret my mistake and I will make every effort not to
repeat it in the future.

I've determined that the problem lies with my A-V/Firewall software. I
"disabled" Kaspersky, assuming that would [duh] DISABLE Kaspersky. Apparently
there are obscure pieces-parts of the product that continue to lurk, even
after being "disabled", and it was one of those components that was blocking
the streaming audio. No log record is written!!!

Thanks for taking the time to help.

YW. I've run into problems being caused by this "protection" component of
Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS7?) several times in the last week or so,
Phil. Can you tell us the name of this component and how to disable or
remove it?

[This is yet another reason why most of us do not recomment "internet
security" suites.]

That link example is only useful if one is accessing the newsgroup in a
newsreader *and* if "microsoft.public" is newsreaders default newsserver.
I'd recommend pointing to the thread (e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser/browse_frm/thread/77123ab6872f1e5a/ab87a1a1a545c181?#ab87a1a1a545c181)
or post (e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser/msg/ab87a1a1a545c181)
in Google Groups instead.
