that definitely sounds like a firewall issue. unfortunately, there's usually no good way to fix it except to turn off the firewall, or to allow incoming traffic from streaming.protoman.com. to temporarily disable the firewall for your computer only, find out what your local ip address is, and then enter it into the "dmz" (demilitarized zone) field in your router's configuration. be sure to wipe it out when you're done watching cartoons to restore your firewall protection.
