windows media player wont connect!

[sho.gun]

Everytime I try to play a video/audio file from the net, WMP gives me an error saying that I need to connect to ther internet. The media guide won't work either. I've tried messing with the "network" options there to no avail... anyone have any ideas?

yeah, dump media player. I think music match will play wma files, it it's a bit nicer.
