Configuring the RealPlayer to Work Through a Firewall

To determine if you have this version of the RealPlayer; open the RealPlayer, click on the Help menu, and click on the About tab. A message box will be displayed listing the version of the RealPlayer that is installed on your system.

  1. In your RealPlayer menu, click on View and select Preferences from the drop down menu.
  2. In the Preferences window, click the Transport tab.
  3. Click the Use Specified Transports option.
  4. Click the PNA button. The Specify Transports window appears.
  5. Click the "Use HTTP Only" option. Click OK to close the Specify Transports window.
