Streaming Audio

[SpeedyG]

Hey there,
What I am trying to do is set up a path to get some tunes that the school server wont let me get.
Here is the situation.
If I log in to the radio station from school, after 5-6 hours of usage, it seems the school server blocks my connection. What I guess is it is grabbing my static connection and blocking the address.
What i would like to do is....
From school, log onto my home computer which has a dynamic IP address.
From there, log onto the radio station site and enjoy the tunes.
What I dont know is do I create some type of station Mirror to accomplish this?

FYI:
School system win 98 using IE
Home system XP Home using IE

Thanks,

Ralph

The school system you are talking about, is it a high school system? It's just that I've never heard of cutting off TCP connections after 5-6 hours! I think it's more likely that something else is the culprit for closing the connections...

1. What type of Audio program are you using? (I'm curious as to what protocol it is using)
2. What are the symptoms of your lost connection? That is, what does the audio program report exactly?
3. Are you able to re-connect after the connection is lost? If not, what error message does it list?

It is certainly possible to construct what you describe (using your home machine as a proxy) but for some reason I doubt that any device your school may have installed would be smart enough to selectively shut down active connections based on use... I could be wrong, however...

I am setting this up for my Wife who is a teacher at an Elementary school.

It is using Media player under IE5.0 under 98 SE
The station is 91x.com (under listen live)
When this happens, Simply the system says "no connection"
I can get to the WEB page but not past the Audio transfer.
But,...I am able to get to the station VIA another classrooms system or my home system.

Schools network is Novell

Any ideas you have would be helpfull.

Regards,

Ralph
