Transport Preferences allow you to customize your network connection for RealPlayer. If you are connecting to the Internet through a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP), you probably do not have to set any of the items on this tab.
The description of these preferences assumes a basic knowledge of Internet protocols and firewalls. For more information about firewalls, refer to our Web site at http://www.real.com/help/firewall.
