4) Are any other browser plugin's required?
At Clarkson I had very little experience setting this up. Basically I just clicked on the link and it worked. Any words of wisdom would be most welcome.

1.) The link is
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/
2.) The Nasa TV stream is either in Windows media player or realplayer,.
3.) I don't think it uses any nonstandard ports, other than Port 80, but i'm sure I'm somehow going to be disproved in some way.
4.) You don't need any browser plugin, but I'm pretty sure you need at least the latest Media Player(Or at the very least version 9. The required codec will be automatically downloaded if you haven't changed the option in media player that automatically downloads the required coded.) If you want to test run the computer just visit the link and view the stream. Nasa TV is on all day, and will work the same now, as it will on January 7.
