Quicktime Error 66559 driving me nuts

Hi

I'm trying to get movies to stream. I put the URL in and open the URL in Quicktime (I have Quicktime Pro 7, and the latest Mac OS). After a long wait, I get the same error message each time.

Error -66559, internet appears to be online. Well duh, I hope the internet is online. But the error message tells me nothing as to what is wrong with Quicktime.

I even bought QT Pro thinking it would help but it didn't. Same error. Any clues? Thanks.

I thought maybe it's a firewall thing, but I don't know what goes on there. I didn't set up our home computers. It's a wireless connection but the USB is plugged into my machine. Thanks

imac, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I'm having the same error. Trying to watch the keynote and keep getting this error.

I know this doesn't help you, but thought it might make you feel better knowing you aren't alone in the world with this issue.

same thing happens with me. I've already reinstalled and everything. Even streaming movies/ads from the Apple website is affected. However if i do plug my laptop through the ethernet internet connection, everything works perfectly. But when i pull the cable out and rely on our wifi connection, no movie/ads stream, quicktime can't connect to the internet and i get error -66559. help pleaseee!!!
