WMP Problems

[sheureka]

I have a new (refurbished) E740. Generally I'm very happy with the wireless setup on my home network and the speed using it on the Sprint Vision network.

But I'd like to be able to use Windows Media Player and I'm getting some very strange messages. It wouldn't run at first, saying there were no skins installed (??) so I downloaded several from the internet and finally found one that worked. My old PDA (a Casio E125) worked great with WMP and came loaded with a bunch of stuff to try but there don't seem to be any media files at all preloaded on the E740.

I'd like to stream radio using WMP (the primary reason I bought this thing!) but I can't find any instructions anywhere and when I put a url in (like I do on my desktop WMP) I get a message saying that I'm not connected to the internet, even though the wireless is working on every other program.

Anybody have any clues, or any idea where I can find something to read to help me here?
