Can't stream live news

Obviously it hasn't been fixed,so I'm asking anybody interested if you would kindly go to this link http://www.kirotv.com/index.html at 5:00pm to 6pm , 11:00pm , 4:30 AM to 7am or NOON to 12:30 pm Monday thru Friday or 5:00 to 6:30 PM weekends (PDT) PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME & click on this banner

I cannot figure out why it aint working for me on ANY browser. It quit about 10 days ago. I'll be trying it on a friends computer Friday. TIA guys n gals.

8:40 pm EDT. It worked. The URL is still http://mfile.akamai.com/12926/live/reflector:53143.asx
What happens if you try to open this in Windows Media Player (File > Open URL)?

Trying both SeaMonkey & Firefox it just says "connecting to media", but thats it.

It still doesn't work in IE? I wonder if an entry was somehow added to the host file and blocks your connection to the server?

Sorry, I never tried it in IE. If I'm up that late tonight,I'll give it a shot.
I know nothing about a hosts file.

The host file is in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
File name is hosts, no extension. It's just a text file.

Here are the first couple lines in mine:

# Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy
127.0.0.1 www.007guard.com
127.0.0.1 007guard.com
127.0.0.1 008i.com

The sites following 127.0.0.1 will be blocked.

You can use notepad to open the file.

Ok,I found it. How do I use notepad to open it?

Its getting late here so I'll continue in the morning,thank you

I usually just right click on the file, then click on Open With, then pick Notepad from the list.

Right click on the etc file or ?? I'm either too tired or confused or maybe both.
I think I will wait till morning to continue. I don't want to mess anything up.

Right click on "hosts"

Ok, this is what I get when I right click on the Hosts file. I'm guessing I did something incorrect.

I did try IE this morning & nothing.

You almost had it. If you click Open, a window should pop-up and you should be able to select Notepad from there.

Ok, did that & got it. Do you want ALL of it pasted in a reply?

No, that's ok. Just do a word search for "akamai" and see if anything w/ that is listed. If so, delete those entries and save the file. If Notepad won't save over the existing file, than save it as something else. Delete or rename the original. Then rename the new file to hosts w/o extension.

Have you tried connecting to the streaming site w/ a different computer from your location? Or use your computer to connect from a different location. If your PC works from a different location then the problem lies elsewhere.

When you say do a word search,I'm assuming you mean go to Start>search & type in "akamai" (w/o the quotes) ?I'm doing that now. I'll have a friend in the building check his pc this evening if he can,otherwise,it may be noon tomorrow for a chance. BTW, thanks for your help thus far.

I mean from within Notepad. Once you have hosts opened in Notepad, use the search function (ctrl-f) to see whether the word "akamai" (you're right, w/o quotes) is there.

Yep, not a problem. I know how frustrating it is when computer or tech related matter doesn't work the way it should.

I did such & it said NOT found. Hmmm

Hmmm...indeed. I don't know. I'm out of ideas now.

Well, hopefully within 28 hours give or take, I'll find out more. Thanks & take care.
