0xC00D1198: Cannot connect to the server

Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server hosting the content you want to play. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

• The name of the server hosting the content is not valid. If you typed a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address in the Open URL dialog box, ensure that the file name is spelled correctly and the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link may not be valid.
• The server is busy and is not accepting new connections. Try to connect to the server at a later time.
• The proxy server settings for Windows Media Player are not configured properly. Verify that your proxy server settings are correct.

To verify your proxy server settings

• On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Network tab, and then verify your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area.

Note

• If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the Network tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser (available for HTTP protocol only).
