OK, I'm having problems with my feeds.

I'm a Mac user at home so I've had my share of problems. The RealOne for OS X is working wonderfully now, though.

But, at work I have a PC with Win98. I have a problem that happened about 3 weeks ago and I was able to fix it.

It happened again a few days ago and my fix didn't work. It means I can't get the feeds at all. Here's the problem:

Instead of seeing the live feeds the only "video" I get on any of the four cams is a 30 sec. CBS TV commercial for the premiere of the show. After that commercial is done it just stops.

My cam buttons (#1 - 4) have never worked (and I reinstalled RealOne) so I am forced to use links from webpages and/or Favorites I've set up.

No matter what I click (official links for links on fan pages), the cams won't load. Favorites don't work either. I've even stole Favorite files from other PCs but that doesn't work either.

When I fixed the problem the first time what I had to do was delete a TON of cookies, caches, history, etc. - anything and everything I could think of that might have my ID. I did this in RealOne and IE.

I then downloaded Netscape 4.7 and clicked a link from that on CBS.com and RealOne asked me to login again (since I deleted my cookies) and after that it worked.

Well...it did it again, now. I tried again to delete anything and everything and no go. Just that damn commercial.

I'm not sure if this is some weird caching problem with my works' servers or what.

Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone offer any advice?!?

I figured out my problems. My network connection settings were invalid.

Guess it showed me that 'commercial' from the cache since it couldn't get a live, streaming connection.

I fiddled with my settings and now it works.
