Have you tried to play mms streams with mplayer and the CLI? See the man page. mms streams are blocked at the firewall so I cannot test. Using the arrow keys, you may be able to move forward and backward. Again, see the man page for instructions.

It seems as though it cannot find the server, however Windows Media Player 11 in VMWare loads and displays that video just fine.
