[as a general note, i have no problem using mplayer to stream mms://, assuming that the server is properly configured.]
The regular class videos are accessable only from within the university, but as I understand it the test cases should be accessable from outside. I've no no way to verify that, though. It wouldn't surprise me if the server was down. Again. :) That's what happens when they try to run a server on a Microsoft operating system :) On Sunday (a regular week day here) I'll give it another shot, using the methods described in the article linked by Nigel. Assuming that the server is operational by then. In the meantime, I'm still open for advice. Thanks!
