Hi,
As suggested by Tim, disable any third-party firewall or security suite to
see if that program is blocking the Flash content.

Well, it turned out to be ZoneAlarm ... sorta.
Clicking on "Shutdown ZoneAlarm" brings up a prompt asking
"Are you sure you want to quit?" The video will start working before
I answer the prompt. So, I just click "No" to keep ZoneAlarm open.
Whatever.
 
Since the problem happens for both IE and FF,
I believe the fix should be in ZoneAlarm but
I don't know what ZoneAlarm setting needs to be changed.

It turns out that pretending to shutdown ZoneAlarm worked for
only a very brief period. It does not work consistently.
I don't understand it. Adobe Flash Player can be troublesome.
Youtube seems better.

There seems to be two things going on at...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7806756.stm

It causes firewall squawking, & it has a Flash Player script that is bad
enough to crash Flash. I think the site is poorly written or expects a
higher Flash Player version. But mine -- Adobe Flash Player 9.0 r124 --
I think is as high as I can go.

The squawking is related to...
http://www.akamai.com/
Just clicking that link causes Kerio to ask permission...!...

'Internet Explorer' from your computer wants to connect to 96.17.106.39,
port 1935

The site seems to work anyhow after denying it. I think it's probably a
legit site-- but I don't like it!

Here's the Direct Download for us IE users
v9.0.151.0 (today anyway)
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/current/9/install_flash_player_9_ax.exe

At a quick glance I see the release notes says it's even v9.0.152.0 now,
but downloads as 151.. hmmm, well, anyway even though you use in on W98SE,
I still prefer to use the v9 series on WXPro as well

Adams flash link works fine here, but don't forget in the trusted zone
settings, both ActiveX and Scripts need to be enabled.

report on 96.17.106.12 is...

OrgName: Akamai Technologies
OrgID: AKAMAI

Akamai runs a number of localized content server farms. Very useful for
companies who don't want to maintain their own bandwidth. Pay Akamai for
just the bandwidth that they need at any given time, and Akami puts the
content on regional server farms. You get the content from the closest farm
to you.

Kerio asks permission because you aren't going to the host site, but to a
localized mirror. That is not a weakness in the site, but the strength of
Kerio; it only trusts IP addresses you specify. For load balancing servers,
as run by Akamai, you really have no choice. Trust the entire Akamai server
farm, or forget about using sites which prefer to pay less for scalable
bandwidth service from Akamai than for dedicated bandwidth of their own.

I suspected Akamai was legit when the first Google page on it said
nothing of nasty doings. Thanks for the detail about what it is used
for. Sounds like -- legit as it may be -- it can be put to ill use
depending on the content a site has uploaded to it. But a nasty site I
guess can do its dirty work with or without making use of Akamai for
storage/transmission. But I'm STILL not sure I like connecting to one
site-- & having IT connect me to another!

I've sworn to MEB & others to someday fully understand my Kerio rules.
However, I've got to do my taxes soon & that day must continue to wait.
As far as IE, the only rule I've got that specifically mentions it is...

Protocol: TCP
Direction: Outgoing
Local Endpoint
Port Type: Any port
Application: c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
Remote Endpoint
Address Type: Any address
Port Type: Single port
Port number: 80
Rule Valid: Always
Action: Permit
Log when rule matches: Checked
Display an alert: Unchecked

I believe that is the rule that allows me to use FTP type sites. I
suppose, if Akamai had used its port 80 instead of port 1935, it could
have had its will with my IE, also supposing it was using the TCP
protocol. (I didn't notice which protocol was attempted.)

That video (which I suppose is the same one) does begin to work without
any Flash Player message or Kerio warning. It is very slow on this
Compaq 7470 with Win98SE-- more like a series of still images of Big
Ben! After a few moments, I clicked for "high quality". Then it crashed
to the IE Report Tool. I did not send the report.

| Here's the Direct Download for us IE users
| v9.0.151.0 (today anyway)

Alright. I'll take this shortly, if it will come. Thanks. Last I looked,
the highest for my Win98SE was the one I've got.

| At a quick glance I see the release notes says it's even v9.0.152.0
| now, but downloads as 151.. hmmm, well, anyway even though you use in
| on W98SE, I still prefer to use the v9 series on WXPro as well
|
| Adams flash link works fine here,

Well-- maybe the newer version is necessary, then.

| but don't forget in the trusted zone
| settings, both ActiveX and Scripts need to be enabled.

I have no trusted sites. In the Internet Zone...

ActiveX
Download signed ActiveX controls................ Prompt
Download unsigned signed ActiveX controls.. Disable
Init & script ActiveX controls not marked as safe.. Disable
Run ActiveX controls & plugins...................... Enable
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.. Enable

Scripting
Active Scripting............................ Enable
Allow paste operations via script... Enable
Scripting of Java applets............... Enable

I think my settings are fine, because the one Bill posted...

....which, I guess, is the same video, does begin to work. It's so
slow -- looking more like still images -- that I grew too impatient to
see whether eventually it would crash. After clicking for "high
quality", indeed it did crash-- but differently! DrWatson was unable to
trap it. It was a crash of IE-- not of Flash Player!
