I am getting a Popup Blocker error message when I try to open the player.

Internet Explorer pop-up blocker may try to block the mobZilla player. You can open the player without totally disabling the pop-up blocker. On the Internet Explorer Menu Bar, click on Tools, and click on Pop-up blocker. Click on Pop-up Blocker Settings and type www.mobzilla.com as an address of a website to allow. Click on Add, and mobZilla will be added to your allowed sites. You should now be able to open the player. You should not need to disable your pop-up blocker.

If you are using third-party security or popup blocker software (like Norton Internet Security) you may need to add mobZilla to them as well to allow the mobZilla to open. Follow the instructions included with your software to allow mobZilla to open.

My firewall may be blocking mobZilla from streaming, what settings do I need?

Your firewall must allow ports 80 (HTTP) or 1755 (UDP, TCP) opened and free of filters. You must also allow connections to the following domains:
*.mobzilla.com
*.llnwd.net

Some firewalls, such as Norton Internet Security also contain ad removal features that may need to be disabled or configured to permit streams from mobZilla.

Symantec provides information on how to configure Norton here.

This will not affect your ability to listen from your phone.
