Amarok last.fm streams cannot be accessed

i have been using amarok for a while and my wife got me hooked on last.fm but whenever i try to stream any of the stations through amarok it returns a resource can not be accessed message. since amarok has full compatibility for this my question is what could be hindering it? and if its a firewall issue what service and ports need to be opened for it to work

no one has any ideas. thats kinda surprising i guess i’ll keep on it and if i get it sorted out i’ll post it here in case anyone else comes up against the same issue
