Network Errors



-5420 - connection failed (couldn't connect to the server)





thats the explanation I have for ANY stream I try and get. I never had this problem before. I am on Cable and have a Router. Prob is, I dont have a clue what I should configure if it is a router problem. Seeing it has a builtin firewall thingy.



For example if I try go to the MWNY Keynote, I get the error, also if I try go to Music Video Network I get the error. Uff

    ok, some good news: if you go into the QuickTime preferences, and I choose the Auto Configure Transport thingy and do an auto-test, it reselects as UDP.



    So, now going to streaming sites, I dont get the -5420 error anymore. BUT. I just dont get ANYTHING. Its says "connecting" the "requested data" but the nada. There is zero activity. Also shown by NetMonitor.



    Now what?
