My user have similar problem, unable to play video streaming from internet,
despite with various ways as describe by many in this forums.

We managed to resolve the problem through renaming the media player folder.


Try these...
You can rename the networking information folder for the Player so that it
can rebuild its networking information files after you restart it.

To rename the Player networking information folder
1.
Close Windows Media Player. (To do this, on the File menu, click Exit.)

2.
Click Start, and then click Run.

3.
In the Run dialog box, type the following (exactly as shown):

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media

This step opens the following folder on your computer:

SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\UserProfileName\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media

4.
In this folder, rename the folder 10.0 to 10.0.bak. For more information
about renaming folders, see To change the name of a file or folder.

5.
Start the Player and try to stream the content again.
