WMP player is not loading the Filter DLL in Wifi

WMP player is not loading the Filter DLL in Wifi :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.We enabled the Wifi in a mobile device;
Thru the Wifi, we try to reach the server for streaming server;

 We are giving the rtsp/PD server address in WMP;
In WMP, if we specified the  http  or rtsp, WMP must automatically load the
Filter.
         But it doesnt happen and our filter is not getting loaded;


Reason:
----------
 WMP player will not load the filter DLL before checking the host.

WMP Behavior:
-------------
 WMP will sends some form of HTTP GET / some requests to server

 For Example rtsp://10.203.92.78:8080/1.3gp

 WMP will sends the some network request to the the 10.203.92.78 server; if the

server acknowledges the WMP, then only WMP tries to load the filter DLL for the

corresponding format;

 In case of the Wifi, it may sends the HTTP Get command. Wifi server may not

response to the request or some form of communication gap happens.. so WMP will not get

the response;


  But In case of GPRS streaming,WMP loads the filter DLL and we are able to do streaming well;
 
Another reason WMP may not be able to detect the connected network intelligently;


Solution:
==========
      Develop our own player application to insert the Streaming source Filter and render

it...
 


Note:
------- 
  if our Player application is using RenderFile() means that might cause the same problem;
