Sounds like we are at the same stage.

I am streaming to my Windows XP box and using Windows Media Player 10
to view.  I am using an 11Mbs WiFi card and the myth box is wired into
the router yet the video is continually pausing to buffer.  I am
surprised it needs to do this given the clip is only playing at
245Kbs, and I can see my network is not being used to its full
potential.  Is this just a Windows Media Player issue and if so what
is a better viewer to use?
