Noone on the network can stream news videos or feeds
We have a simple network with a 2008 Server domain controller and a SonicWall TZ205. We had a crash and had to rebuild the server from scratch. Nothing changed except it is no longer our email server. Nothing changed with the SonicWall.
Now, noone on the network can stream live video feeds such as cnngo or foxnewsgo. It just sit with the loading circle and never starts. Does not matter if it's IE, Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. It does the same on foxnews and cnn videos from the archive.
Is there some way of diagnosing the issue without an error message?

did the stream video have anything to do with the W2K8 server? did the previous W2K8 installation have a Streaming Media Service role? were your stream subscriptions going through the W2K8 server?

You could try using wireshark to watch the network. Another option would be using fiddler which is a http debugger.

Using them you can watch the network traffic and systematically isolate what causes your issues.

As far as I know, there was no Streaming Media Service role before on the old load of server. I'm about 99% sure of that because I don't ever remember setting that up.
The machines are all static IP's manually assigned but the DNS is the server IP.
I will try wireshark but not very familiar with it and see how it goes today.

Gilnov, It still did not work with the DNS set to either one of those.

Gilnov, I was thinking the same thing about how the internet is working. Youtube videos play with no problem. However anything I try to tracert from any PC in this network times out. All workstations are affected by the issue. But everything else on the net works perfectly fine...

Yes, youtube still works after a flushdns. When I try and go to CNNgo's IP address 157.166.226.26, I get a CNN Page not found error.
Also, yes I also just thought about that and I plan on restarting the sonicwall in about 45 minutes when everyone is off for the day so I can see if maybe a restart will kick it in.

Well I went ahead and restarted the SonicWall and low and behold, it fixed the issue. You were correct about it being confused about the old server.
Thanks so much for your help gilnov!!

Gilnov worked very well at breaking down his explanations and things to try. Kudos from a hardware guy with not much networking history.
Happy I could help and thanks for the kudos. As I'm fond of saying, the solution is always easy once you know the answer!
