Hi, I hit the download button on the Windows media player website.
An icon with a program did not download. A document with code only
downloaded.Do I need to turn off my firewall to receive the icon
and program to unstuff an install?
No. That sounds like an incomplete or corrupted download. Try here:

I'm new to OS X Tiger. In the Sharing Preference, I have Network
Time checked; and, in the Advanced settings, I have marked Enable
Stealth Mode and Enable FireWall Logging. I did not mark Block UDP
Traffic. Not sure what that is.
I'm looking a the the Firewall Log. Looks like there are many
entries. Haven't had a chance to read the O'reilly book that goes
with OS X Tiger yet.
You will see LOTS of entries in the firewall, they will largely be
irrelevant.
I'm wondering what UDP means and its significance. Any light
someone can shed on all this would be helpful. There is a live
radio program on the Internet I want to listen to but I need the
windows media player, evidently.
Your firewall should not block any activity you initiate on your Mac,
like file downloads.
UDP is a type of network traffic, which, along with TCP runs on IP
networks (hence TCP/IP) <http://www-net.cs.umass.edu/kurose/transport/
UDP.html>
Basically, your computer won't respond to pings, it may not connect
via Bonjour (or Rendezvous as it used to be known), and some other
network utilities won't find it.
