Gentlemen:
Result of uname -a: SunOS alien 5.10 Generic_138889-02 i86pc i386 i86pc
My machine is an HP xw9300 with dual 2.4 GHz processors and 8 GB
memory. I loaded Solaris 10 directly off the DVDs sent to my by Sun
Microsystems. I have also installed Sun Studio 12 and NetBeans IDE 6.1
from the package of DVDs from Sun. Patches are up tp date. Everything
works great except that I cannot play radio stations over the internet
that only send an audio stream that works only with Microsoft Windows
Media Player. Other streams work fine but the stations that I want to
listen to are not streaming in other formats. I have a 10.3 SuSE Linux
box that plays the Windows Media Player stream that uses mplayer
plugins and the mplayer program. I would like to try to install
mplayer on my Solaris machine, but here is the problem.
I can bring up firefox and go to http://www.blastwave.org and click on
"HOWTO use Blastwave" to get the procedure. Here's what happens when I
enter the command to do the very first step:
{root} alien:/sw/newdl pkgadd -d
http://blastwave.network.com/csw/pkg_get.pkg
## Downloading...
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to establish a connection with
<blastwave.network.com>.
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to download package datastream from
<http://blastwave.network.com/csw/pkg_get.pkg>.
I also have a Sun SunBlade 1000 SPARC machine and I get the same
result. I'd say that it must be a network problem but I do get to the
Blastwave home page or anywhere else I want/need to goto without a
problem. My network is supplied by WildBlue, a satelite connection
using DHCP that is always on. It's adaquately fast enough and if every
way seems to be working correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
