Quicktime streaming problems

Hi,

I'm on WinXP and have QT7 Pro. I'm able to view the movie trailers on the apple website, but I'm unable to view quicktime movies on some websites. I look at the source code and they're embedding .mov files using the <embed> tag.

I see the quicktime icon on the website, but the status bar keeps saying "connecting", "negotiating" and "getting info".

I've tried changing the transport from UDP to HTTP, and also disabled my Kerio firewall, but it still doesn't work. I've also tried both Firefox and IE6, and I've tried downloading the .mov file indicated in the source file, but all I got was a text file with an RTSP:// link.

I can't provide the actual link since it's a subscriber only website, but I managed to find another one that exhibits the same symptoms. It's here

Help!
 
Well, I went to that link and didn't have any issues. Both movies played fine.

I would suggest placing this in the Windows section, as I'm sure it's an issue with a plugin/program that's on that side of the OS front, and not Quicktime.
