need help linking to a wmv file

Mar 16, 2007 1:00AM PDT

hi all,

i have a little video (wmv format created by premiere 6.5) that I want to link to from my webpage. right now, visitors can "right click and save target as" and downlaod and view it, BUT when i put in a link that goes right to the wmv file, i get a windows media player error message . . .

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."

i am connected to the net . . . any ideas? just a slow connection day?
thanks fj
