Still Not Working - Version: 11 build 884, 7/5/2008 06:11AM PST

I tried the "Network Socket Error" fix to no avail. I seem to have narrowed it down to the RPDLAgent that runs. If I kill both the RealPlayer process and RPDLAgent process in terminal, navigate to ~/Library/Application\ Support and delete the RealNetworks Folder, restart RealPlayer, choose NOT to install the Download Agent, then everything is fine.
Apparently, there is a problem with how the Download Agent actually searches for it's downloads. Almost any site that has a flash file is calling to that agent. I know that MacNN is a big one and I visit that site all the time.
In my tests, you can leave the RealPlayer app in the app folder and just not run the DL agent and everything is fine. I really think Real needs to fix this. As I have stated before, it was working in build 631. It seems that build 884 broke something.

Change the RealPlayer preferences settings for "Transport":
- Activate "Use manually configured RTSP and PNA transport settings"
- Click on the "Configure..." button
- Click the "Use HTTP Only"
Hope that helps!

As stated, the new Download Agent that ships with Build 884 is not working or is broken. I find it interesting that a previously installed version will work. I thought that it would have given me an error telling me that "This version is no longer supported" but it didn't.
Perhaps Real should package the DL Agent from 631 with the app from 884? Dunno, but this fix seems to have worked now on 3 laptops. (In case I had not stated that this only affects wireless access in my other posts)
