RealPlayer: Not Connecting
I can't get RealPlayer 10 to connect to anything on the web. I've tried everything that Real has on their support page regarding "Cannot connect" messages and things still not working, such as performing a connection test from realplayer (which ironically said everything was fine).
Anyone experienced similar problems and willing to share their solutions?

If realplayer can see the web, you are having problems with the ports it uses for streaming media. They are configurable, and you can tell it to try proxying over http.
In many cases that won't work, due to firewall issues, or network setup. In which case, either adjust your firewall, or you are SOL.
Also, there are alternative players for real.

Many files are only available in real format - making that choice impossible. Not to mention, some people have worse problems with the alternatives (windows media player files).shiznatix wrote:why are you using realplayer anyways? i havnt seen a realplayer file for like 3 years and if i would i wouldnt use it because reaplayer is very annoying.
