PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of corporate firewall configurations
  • Knowledge of audio streaming protocols
  • Familiarity with web development and HTML5 audio elements

Hi everyone!

My webpage has an option to listen to MP3 songs. It works fine on some computers, but not work on some others. I found out that it works on almost personal computers, but not on company computers.

Any body knows how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!

Thanks in advance!

My first guess would be that many corporate firewalls block MP3 or streaming audio.
 
Hi David,

I guess that too. If so, we have no way to unblock this firewall?
