Recently my WMP11 has stopped playing mp3s or wav files on my own site whilst
online and having checked other sites (inclduing Microsofts own media pages)
it has also stopped playing them without resorting to saving the m3u and then
playing it after downloading. The error appears as if I am offline saying
that I am not connected or it is the wrong site address etc..when I am online
and happens for all mp3s attenpted to be played whilst online. It never used
to do that before on Vista. I've seen a recent knowledge base article
somewhere that i tried but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to get WMP11
playing these instantly once again?

That implies to me that there's a broken file association issue on this
system - what other players are installed? If you go to the system's
Default Programs tool and reassociate to WMP there, does that fix you up?

See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
