Well, I WAS able to stream SOME Realplayer sites...
You need the rtsp
/ address -- I would download the RAM file
manually,
and enter the value inside of it. Only some Realplayer streams use the
rtsp
/ protocol. For some reason, if RealPlayer downloads the RAM
file - it doesn't properly read the rtsp
/ address inside of it... so
I had to manually extract the address for each site I wanted to listen
to...
(You also need the version 1.1 player, from the Real website)
Well, here comes the "WAS" portion... I changed routers, since I now
have VoIP service.... The new router seems to forward the ports that
the PC client uses, but not the ones that the PocketPC client uses.
I used a packet sniffer to see which port was being used... While the
ports that the PPC client used was within the range that the Real site
has for the PC client -- the PC client seemed to normally use a much
lower port range....
Unfortunately, this VoIP router only allows for forwarding up to 6 (I
think) single ports... no port ranges. Real has a LARGE range of ports
it could use.
While the PC client allows you to specify ports - the PPC client
doesn't via the UI. I got in touch with someone who had access to the
PocketPC client source code--- and I entered the registry entries he
mentioned - and it still didn't force the proper ports.
See the below thread with my frustration from about three weeks ago (I
don't know if there is a shorter way to specify this URL):

Another general thing (prior to getting the new router - not Real
specific)- I found that the wireless router I was using was set on a
channel that was causing alot of lost packets, even though the card
software said I was getting "Excellent" reception. I changed channels
and the timeouts I would sometimes get in streaming to Windows Media
Player went away...
Thanks!
