Issue Playing Streams on Intranets
You may encounter the following error message when you attempt to play a
streaming media file on an intranet that includes an Internet proxy server:
"Windows Media Player cannot find the file. Verify that your network proxy
settings are correct, and then try again."
The problem occurs when the intranet URL of the file you are trying to play
contains periods, such as "mms://192.168.10.255/file.wma" or
"http://media.marketing.contoso.com/file.wmv".
This only pertains to URLs that are inside your organization's firewall (that is,
URLs that you can ordinarily reach without going through a proxy server).
To resolve the problem, open the Connections settings and add a work URL
exception for the address. In Work URL, enter the address of the file you
want to play.
For more information about adding a work URL exception, see Connections
Help.
You must include the protocol (for example, mms, mmst, mmsu, or
http) in the exception address.
Wildcard characters are permitted in the exception address (for
example, "mms*://192.168.*.*/*.*").
