You may have a firewall somewhere that is blocking RTP/UDP packets.

Either fix your firewall, or else request RTP-over-TCP streaming.  I 
forget how you do this in "MPlayer" (but if you were to use VLC 
instead, then it automatically requests RTP-over-TCP streaming if it 
doesn't receive ant RTP/UDP packets within a few seconds).
