Radio Margaritaville

None of my iTunes installations (3 Mac 10.4 and 1 Windows XP) v8.1.1 will play Radio Maragaritaville in iTunes Radio. None of the other stations I have tried seem to be affected. I have talked to the staff at the station and they haven't a clue. The computers are connecting to the internet by router, wired and wireless to cable modem. Highlight the station, click the play button and it says connecting but never plays. They don't use playlists.
Is there a cache I can delete?
Is it possible that Radio Margaritaville has my IP blacklisted?

iTunes 8.1.1, Mac OS X (10.4.11), and Windows XP sp3

We are having this problem in our house as well. 3 Macs, all on the same wireless network (verizon fios) and none of them can get RM. It's killing me as we are huge Buffett fans. One day it was working and the next not, I first thought it was because a live concert broadcast was eating up the bandwidth but it hasn't worked in our house in weeks now. Any ideas?

Here is the last email I sent to Radio Margaritaville. I've got to say that they have been concerned but ultimately not helpful. (It may not be their fault.)

Coleman,

+Here is the url to the discussion we are having on Apple discussions. As you can see we now have 4 in the same boat. As a rule I think you can safely multiply that by 100 or soand that ads up to a not inconsequential number.+

+I still think it has to have something to do with blocked IP addresses. Could the firewall at the stream site be blocking this?+

Pete



Does anyone know if their IP address from their provider has changed since this started happening? I think getting my ISP to force my address to change might resolve it but they won't do that until I have exhausted all other options.
