I have subscribed to a web site called Africam.com to watch some live streaming video of polor bears. When I click on the polar bear cam it always opens up Windows Media Player in their little veiwer box and says connecting to server and sits there for about 15 seconds. THen it says opening for about a minute and it jsut sits there. It will never open the cam. I close out of the box and the on the task bar, it shows that the window is still open but its not and i can close it. Then i click on the cam link angain and does the same thing but this time after about a minute it says that it has timed out probably because a connection problem. I dont think there is a connection problem because I have veiwed many of their other cams through Windows Media Player. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player and still no luck. Please Help.

If your not having problems ith accessing other sites there is more than likely a problem with thier server. It may be to busy, or it may have problems or it could be that you are not connecting well to this server or the servers connection is not good.
But again if you are not having problems with other sites it is probably the site itself. Try connecting to it on another computer and see what results you get.
