Protocol) and MMS (Microsoft Media Server protocol).
DirectoryName is optional, depending on where the
multimedia files are located on the Web site. FileName is
the name of the multimedia file. Please note that the
protocol is followed by a colon and two forward slashes,
and a forward slash is used between each folder name as
well as the file name. Protocol, DomainName and FileName
are all required parts of the path. DirectoryName is

Protocol://ServerName/ShareName/FileName
Protocol is a set of formats and procedures that enable
computers to exchange information. Protocols used by
Windows Media Player include HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol) and MMS (Microsoft Media Server protocol).
ServerName is the name of the computer on the network on
which the multimedia file is located. ShareName is the
name of the shared folder, located on the server, in
which the multimedia file resides. FileName is the name
of the multimedia file. Please note that the protocol is
followed by a colon and two forward slashes, and a
forward slash is used between each folder name as well as
the file name. Protocol, ServerName, ShareName, and
FileName are all required parts of the path.
Resolution
Ensure that file name is not misspelled and the path to
the file is correct and try again. If you received the
error message by clicking a link on a Web page, contact
the content provider for an updated link.
Note that the error message can also occur if you are
playing an .asx file and the .asx file refers to a path
that does not exist (possibly because of reorganized
content on the host site). The path to the .asx file is
correct; the problem is that a path embedded inside
the .asx file is no longer correct. Retyping the path to
the .asx file does not resolve this issue.
