WMP or Connections problem w/streaming audio

[ssorrell]

I have upgraded to WMP11, but I was having this problem with version 10 just
before the upgrade...

I usually access XM Radio online via WMP. However, now for some reason, any
time I try to connect to XM, I get the following: Error Contacting Service,
Please Try Again Later. However, I can access XM through my browser and I can
access other online music sources like Live 365, etc. For some reason, WMP
just doesn't like XM.

And weird too that after I've attempted to access XM via WMP, my email hangs
on the next connect to the server, forcing me to shut down the program and
reboot the computer.

So...this might not be a WMP problem...it might have something to do with
connections. I have no idea. It's just weird that I can connect via the
browser but not via WMP.

Any thoughts?

I have had the same problem with connecting to xm online service. It
seems to be a connection issue with XM. It was working fine in WMP 11
until a couple of days ago. I hope they fix it soon, since I like
having XM in WMP other then another browser window.
