WMP version 9.00.00.2980 opens the file and immediately wants to go to
127.0.0.1:Port 3270

I've got ZoneAlarm configured to block WMP and I refused the connection.

WMP continues to play the audio (0:23) but there's no video.  The audio
sounds likes some techno music being played in a cafeteria and, towards the
end, somebody says "damn."
