Streaming links won't work

When I click on a music sample link in any website, I can't the music sample
to start playing at all. This is a streaming media problem and when I put it
through Windows media player I get this message:

Error# C00D2EE0: The specified protocol is not supported.
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is
not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a
different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

Can anyone help with this? I have dial up internet connection as well

What's a sample URL that is failing for you?
