Maybe daft, but have you got RealPlayer or equivalent

There might be a number of reasons, and the first one that pops into my head is whether or not you have a firewall, and if it is blocking any ports? If it is, this might cause problems. I know for sure that at my work place, I can't listen to certain radio stations, but, this is due mainly to the fact that the site is faulty. So, you might want to start your investigation there, and let us know how you proceed.

That is usually the problem I have. RealPlayer can be downloaded free at http://forms.real.com/netzip/intl/intl_getrde601.html?lang=en&h=software-dl.real.com&f=windows/mrkt/R30UKD/RealPlayer10-5GOLD.exe&p=RealPlayer&oem=rp10_en_uk&src=ZG.uk.home.realplayer_rm_split.hd.def,ZG.uk.rp10_p_f.rp10_p_f.760.rp10_plus_free&tagtype=ie&type=rp10_en_uk

Or alternatively use Real Alternative to avoid all the annoying, resource-hogging bloatware and adware you get with Real Player.

Thanks for the answers - getting real player download - I thought I'd downloaded it before? The real alternative wouldn't work for some reason!
I hoping that will work, will let you know, thanks for all the answers and help - its one of those things I keep meaning to get around to trying to fix!
