Trouble with wmv file on my website

My client has a video (.wmv file @ 20+megs) that she wants to play on her website. I've tried making the file a link for viewers to download and I've tried embedding the file in a page.
When I test the link for downloading (on a MAC) the file downloads as a text file. And when I test it as an embedded file, it plays a for few seconds just fine and then it stops/freezes.
Anybody have any suggestions about what is going on? Thanks!

The url of the embedded file is

What's the URL, so we can check it out and try to see what the problem is?

we've been sending the url around to friends and some people are able to view it with no problems, but for most people it begins to play and then stops after a few seconds.

Already checked with the hosting service and they do allow streaming video.
