MMS streams

At my university we watch lectures in Windows Media Player via MMS
streams. The streams are over 2GB in size, so saving the entire stream
is not an option. I need a player that will play the stream, including
Fast Forward and Rewind functions. Is there a linux player that can do
that? I have had no luck with mplayer or vlc.

This is the output of Mplayer:

It seems as though it cannot find the server, however Windows Media
Player 11 in VMWare loads and displays that video just fine. There is
no AU sniffing at the server, I checked that with the university's
computer department.
