In these cases, you will usually see a "buffering message" in your player. Also, some employers block access to streaming media to preserve company bandwidth. If you are able to listen to the stream from home but are unable to connect to the server from work, that may be the problem.

Streaming Radio--(It's Consuming Bandwidth) If your broadband package is limited to 3GB of downloads a month, how is this calculated on the Internet Radio? Adding up data over the listening time, as though you were downloading a file. Internet Radio Stations can send anything from 16 KILOBITS per second (Low Quality Voice) to 128 KBPS (High Quality Stereo). If a station broadcasts at 56 KBPS, that's 25 Megabits per hour. Listening for 4 hours a day would use your monthly allowance.
