In Realplayer 8 go to View - Preferences - Proxy - HTTP Options Then select "Manually configure HTTP proxy". Put in the IP address of your gateway, whatever that is. It of course must be a local IP address and not a public ip address if you are on a local lan, which I assume you are (where one machine connects to the internet and the other machines use that one machine as a gateway.) In the port field, I believe you should try 8080. To be super safe, and to maximize your likelyhood of getting realplayer 8 to work, you want to also go to "Transport" tab and select "Use specified transport". Under RTSP Settings, select "Use HTTP only." Do the same thing for "PNA Settings". Nearly all firewalls, no matter how weird they are, allow NAT with HTTP protocols. HTTP is usually a given, so this should be your safest route. If you can't get a signal thru the wall with RP8 configured like this then there is something seriously wrong. --LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Linux Mandrake 9.1 Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk *Catch Star Trek Enterprise, Wednesdays on UPN* 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같
