Hi Everyone:

I need your help again. I have a lot of streaming video sites set up in 
my lab and they all work perfectly on the Macintosh. However, a lot of 
students and faculty using Windows XP have complained to me that they 
can't access any of the streaming video.  Windows 2000 users are just 
fine. The XP users are able to negotiate to the streaming server, the 
web client requests the data and then the stream times out and never 
plays.

I've encoded all of my pages to look more or less like the following, 
so I don't think that this is a problem, but here's the code anyway:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Part-01</title>
</head>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" 
width="400" height="316" 
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="SRC" value="poster.qtif">
<param name="QTSRC"

qtsrc="rtsp://montgomery.cas.muohio.edu/ARABIC/9News.mp4" width="400" 
height="316" autoplay="true" controller="true" 
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</object>
<br>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas on why Windows XP users can negotiate with the server, 
request the data, but the stream never starts? I believe that the 
problem began with the recent critical update patches that have been 
posted recently from Microsoft's web update sites. Has anyone else 
experienced this problem?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dan.
