Specifies that Windows Media Player can attempt to use selected protocols when receiving streaming media from a server running Windows Media Services.

This policy specifies that protocols selected on the Network tab of the Player can be used to receive a stream that was initiated through an MMS or RTSP URL from a Windows Media server. If the RSTP/UDP check box is selected, a user can specify UDP ports in the Use ports check box. If the user does not specify UDP ports, the Player uses default ports when using the UDP protocol. This policy also specifies that multicast streams can be received if the Allow the Player to receive multicast streams check box on the Network tab is selected. If this policy is not configured, users can select the protocols to use on the Network tab. If this policy is disabled, the Protocols for MMS URLs and Multicast streams areas of the Network tab are not available and the Player cannot receive an MMS or RTSP stream from a Windows Media server. If this policy is enabled, the administrator must also specify the protocols that are available to users on the Network tab. If the administrator does not specify any protocols, the Player cannot access an MMS or RTSP URL from a Windows Media server. If the Hide Network Tab policy is enabled, the entire Network tab is hidden.
