Windows Media Encoder stops after live broadcast stream startup

[New Mom]

We have a XP system over public Internet from where we streaming media over Win 2003 server in different state. The problem we facing here is Windows Media Encoder stops in between saying “no connection with the server” as soon as we start the live audio streaming. We need to click Start to start it again but it stops 2 to 3 times and then plays fine.

Do someone here have any advice for this? Many thanks

There can be multiple things behind this. For example a address that does not work or are temporarily or permanently saturated with requests at this time, your Internet connection is saturated with other things also note that such connections consume much bandwidth and may simply your connection is not fast enough. Try disabling the firewall or give access to the program and its connections, both TCP and UDP.
