I want to listen to live streaming radio.  I launch the media player window and although it starts to play, it starts and stops intermittently to buffer and interrupts the show to the point of not being able to listen.

This is a brand new IBM Thinkpad T61 with Vista Home Premium.  Can anyone tell me if there are some security settings I should disable or if there is some sort of cache problem?

Also it may be a internet setting on your laptop thats not working. You can try fixing this easily. Go into contorl panel > network and internet > network and sharing center, then 'network connection' in the right tab. Then right click your internet connection in the new window and select 'properties'. Uncheck the box for Internet Protocol Version 6, and both Link-Layer Topology boxes. Try and listen again it might work properly, if not change it back to what it was.
