Why does the stream continuously buffer?
The player needs a certain amount of video buffered into memory before it can play. If it doesn’t have enough network bandwidth to buffer as much as it needs to, the player will keep trying but never succeed at playing the video stream.

Check with your Internet Service Provider or your System Administrator if you have one. The Internet Service Provider or the System Administrator should be able to tell you if there have been any changes to the ability to stream media over the network to your computer. This could be caused by Internet congestion. High levels of Internet Traffic and Network Traffic could cause this to occur. If a lower bandwidth is available (such as 56k), try choosing it. Larger bandwidths require more network transmission space. Smaller bandwidths will ussually move through lines in a more normal fashion.
