All, I have recently created a problem for myself and I cannot solve it. Basically I have had RealPlayer access available for all internal users. I have recently had a requirement to enable outgoing web request authentication. Since doing this - all requests require domain authentication - which is not the issue. My problem is that when a user requests an audio or video link using RealPlayer - they are asked to authenticate, but not the domain or local user authentication. It seems the firewall requires authentication - and I don't know why??? Has anyone else come accross this???? Thanks in advance, Andrew.
