Thanks again for the very prompt reply.  The Internet connection test says that the connection is ok and the URLs are being captured: WM is working well for You-Tube, for instance. 
An example of a URL is:
	Code:
	http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/saturday/rams/1200.ram
 but none of the URLs work with anything other than Radio Ripper!  
Auto-record is on, and the firewall is allowing WM.  The options "Include ram, smil" are checked in Media Options, but as stated I have Real Alternative rather than Real Player 10.  I believe that WinPCap is properly installed, but I don't know what IMHO means!  
I would assume that these URLs don't accept downloads, only if BBC Ripper can get them, presumably they do!  If any of the BBC7 
	Code:
	http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain
  urls work with WM for others, I'd like to know!  Greetings to all...
