I use firefox 2.0.0.3 and I can't get wmp9 to work in it.  All other media
players work.  I says in the media player status bar connecting... then
locating... then ready and I click play and it all starts over.  I went to
check my plugins and they are there and firefox says they are working so I'm
not at all  sure of what to do here.

It's not obvious quite how you checked the plugins. To be sure, please
could you walk through all the steps in this article, and see how you
get on ?   http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

Thanks for the article, but I have already been through it.  When I click on
the broadband test the wmp window comes up but it just says locating... and
then ready and then I press play and it does this again.  I downloaded all
the plugins and put them in the appropriate directories and that did nothing.
I even upgraded java for the hell of it and that didn't help either.  
(didn't think it would, but I am just grasping at straws anyway).

So using the direct URL : In media player (standlone) and File -> Open
URL with this media URL - does it play OK in the desktop player ?

Thanks for trying to help me!

I entered that address into media player and it came up with an error
message that said The server redirected the player to an invalid location.  

It's acting like something is blocking its access to the internet.  The
proxy setting for media player and ie are set to automatically detect, I have
tried this way and with it set to not detect a proxy.  

I don't think my firewall is the problem either because I don't use windows
firewall, and I turned off Black Ice to see if that would help and it did not.

So at the moment, I can't stream or view a link in the standalone.

when I open it the way that you suggested, file, open url, paste the link, it
doesn't work, but if I click on it in firefox, it brings up media player and
plays the first bit of comfortably numb.  So going through the file menu it
doesn't work, but clicking on it, it does.  Weird.
