Your firewall is blocking the movies;
port: 1755 is a ms(windows media player)-streaming port
port: 554 is a rm(real media)-streaming port


My firewalls block everything, in both directions, between Windows systems and the Internet. The proxy must be used. There are no exceptions (I've poked an outbound hole a couple of times on IRC for the chats but that's it).

Almost all videos work fine this way.



Your too paranoid. A basic hardware firewall works just fine and there is less configuring work. If your really paranoid get an AlphaShieldâ„¢.
