Win Media Player 7.1

[Kenjay]

I have recently installed Broadband and this is the 1st occasion I have run media player. I get the error message "Windows Media Player is not configured for the Internet" Although I am connected.

Help

Hi Kenjay. All that message means is you haven't allowed Windows media Player to be your default Internet media player.
If you open media player and choose the View Tab> Options Then click on Player you will see a box that says Allow Internet sites to uniquely identify your player,. Make sure there is a check mark there.

It is already ticked. Also says "before you can use Media Guide or Radio Tuner you must be connected to the Internet"

Many thanks T

First, I do not have a check in the box to allow the internet sites to uniquely id my player - but then I may be paranoid - but I don't need the world knowing what I do.

As for the connection, if your browser works, have you gone into the options and made sure that media player is using your browser defaults? tools/options/network/configure
