RealPlayer on PPC2003

ADSL Broadband with WiFi 802.11b connection to Dell AXIM

I've just downloaded RealPlayer for my pocket PC on the hope of being able
to listen to radio stations on my Dell AXIM.

Installed OK but if I try to access any BBC radio stations it tells me plug
in not installed but gives the option to open in Stand Alone RealPlayer.

Take that option, downloads a file but always times out whilst trying to
open it.

Cannot appear to open a location directly on the PPC realplayer as it tells
me address incorrectly formed.

Any pointers appreciated.

Did you try asking the BBC?

Not yet, two reasons; if I view the actual URL shown in the option to open
in the stand alone player it works fine in the desktop version and secondly
on the rare occasions I have emailed BBC in the past I haven't got a reply.

Firstly I was wondering if I needed to enter something in an unconventional
way?
