Firewalls
If you are having problems connecting to RealMedia content from a corporate/office location, you may be encountering a firewall that is preventing you from accessing them. If you can determine that there is a firewall issue, you will need to contact your local technical support or network administrator to request that restrictions on the firewall be modified.

The following tip has helped many users who are in corporate environments:

• Open up RealPlayer
• Select "view" ->"preferences"
• Select the "Transport" tab then the "use specified ports" radio button and "RTSP Settings"
• Select "Use HTTP only"

You do not need to exit RealPlayer after performing this sequence. Try to access the content and see if it works. Please note that this is a "workaround" - you may have to choose a lower bandwidth connection because of competing web traffic. Ask your systems or network administrator to open port 554 on the firewall to let RTSP traffic through. Further information on firewalls can be found at http://service.real.com/firewall
