HELP! Streaming video won't load on T60 or X60

[andrea b.]

Problem: Streaming video from two sites won't load on T60 or X60; of the 5 computers I use daily, only my two TPads are affected, a T60 and an X60. I've tried to troubleshoot this at several levels - and now I'm comin' here: Is there something about ThinkPad proprietary software that could be the cause?

The two sites in question are Flash based: the New York Times and bloggingheadstv.com/diavlogs/. Flashplayer 10 is installed properly on both machines (and has been uninstalled / reinstalled in attempt to solve the problem).

OS: Windows XP, SP2. Browser: Firefox, latest build (video won't load on IE6 or Safari either on these machines);
Internet Security Suite: Eset NOD32 (turning off firewall temporarily makes no difference);
Relevant add-ons: NoScript, Adblock. (Disabling them temporarily makes no difference).

Troubleshooting thus far: working with NoScript board on Mozilla, and the bloggingheads contacts at their site - no results.

Firefox error console turns up errors like these:
Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'cursor'. Declaration dropped.

Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped.

So: Help!!!!

And thanks.

bloggingheadstv.com/diavlogs/ works fine on my R51 (just ran it) and I have a similar setup to the above with the exception that I am running XP Pro SP3 and I have no add-ons. I am also running Firefox 3.0.7, Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12, and ESET Nod32 3.0.684. So. I would have to say the issue is something peculiar to your build, and not necessarily related to the Thinkpad hardware. Try completely uninstalling noscript and adblock for starters.

Well, one possible solution came up: bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs uses the rtmp streaming video protocol via port 1935; I may need to whitelist port 1935. I...don't know how! Any ESET users out there know? (I am also working with the ESET forum).
