Invalid Socket Error With RealPlayer

RealPlayer is turning the internet connection off! The Windows Media works perfect, but every time I connect to something that requires RealPlayer the internet is disrupted. RealPlayer will not work. I could scream! An Invalid Error button pops up. Is there a solution?

Here you go from RealPlayer Customer Support —

On some networks, you may need to configure RealPlayer to use the HTTP Only option to connect to the Internet. This option allows a copy of RealPlayer operating behind strict firewalls to access RealPlayer traffic; however, quality may not be as good as with other connection options.

1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.
2. In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports.
3. Select the Manually configure connection settings check box.
4. Click the RTSP Settings button.
5. Clear the top box, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.
6. Click the PNA Settings button.
7. Clear the top box, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.
8. Click OK

Yep, fixed it. All is fine now. RealPlayer works like a charm every time now.
