I see that the new media player (11) no longer plays the media that we're
streaming from our Windows 2000 server. I've read all the messages about how
I have to change it to stream on HTTP, which I've done - and it still isn't
working.

First of all, here's a URL that works on older players:
http://www.mbtmag.com/podcast/sapPodcast0307.asx

This asx file contains the following:
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<REF HREF="mms://209.73.224.82/sapPodcast0307.wma" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>


I've tried creating a couple other versions of this ASX, and neither of them
are working:
http://www.mbtmag.com/podcast/test1.asx
http://www.mbtmag.com/podcast/test2.asx

These files contain:
RSTP://209.73.224.82/sapPodcast0307.wma (test1.asx)
HTTP://209.73.224.82/sapPodcast0307.wma (test2.asx)

Neither of these seem to work. I have also modified the setting of Windows
Media Services 4 so that "Enable HTTP streaming for Windows Media Unicast
service" is checked.

Please let me know how I can get this working (without upgrading to Windows
Server 2003).

You sure HTTP is enabled? Try accessing that in mplayer2.exe with
everything but HTTP turned off in WMP6's network options: it doesn't work.
Once HTTP is turned on and working on the server-side, it'll work in WMP6 in
that scenario and WMP11 generally.

Also, the sample clip has "Poddcast" in the clip title. Not important, but
I thought worth an FYI. =)
