This is my second repost of this message it didn't make it the first time Hi, I am not sure exactly where to look. I tried the search method and didn't get anything useful from the search engine. I tried redoing the settings for the helper applications for netscape such as for mime type I re entered the following: MIMEType: audio/vnd.rn-realaudio Suffixes: .ra, .ram Application: /usr/local/RealPlayer7/realplay %s I still get no sound out of the player. The realplayer does show that it is buffering and it does give the name of site that it is buffering on the title bar. The only thing that I noticed is that the Netscape preferences seem to rewrite values, eg. for Suffixes it gives .ra, .ram, /, / instead of what I originally entered .ra, .ram . Is there anything to this? Otherwise any help is much appreciated!
