| 328757 | 2005-02-28 00:38:00 | I've tried to stream various radio stations on my computer (xp pro) and in winamp I just get the [timed out] message. Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks! evan |

| 328758 | 2005-02-28 01:03:00 | Might be a firewall. Are there any firewalls installed?? Also, try updating to the latest version of Winamp. Its up to 5.08e now. |

| 328760 | 2005-02-28 01:59:00 | Are you on dialup or broadband?? That might be a factor. |

| 328763 | 2005-02-28 02:37:00 | um........what operating system ?.........if youare on xp and you've got 'no firewalls' then you are crazy and certain to catch a virus in the near future.... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 328764 | 2005-02-28 02:52:00 | Since neither winamp nor media player work, the problem is deeper than just the player, do you have any other problems with connecting to sites, or with playing non-streaming files from a site? However as drcspysuggested, you are living dangerously with no firewall, ifyou are behind a router with NAT you are probably ok. Geoff Palmer in this months PC World quoted a site that said an unprotected PC can be hijacked within minutes: usatoday.com |

Like, in possibly less than just half an hour... :eek: Windows XP has a built-in firewall which with SP2 is enabled by default. You may need to check that it is not causing your problem. |

| 328766 | 2005-02-28 03:32:00 | yep you may need to set an exceptoin in sp2 firewall for your prog......also I personally caught a virus within about 1 minute by goin online without a firewall .......now i realise that some may last longer but it sure is a risk.....and it wont be much longer | drcspy (146) | ||
