is there any value in experimenting with using Xine as the engine?<br><br>Dave</blockquote><div><br><br>Hi Dave,<br><br>There are a couple of possibilities I can think of. Firstly, I'll agree with the recommendation that you try it wired to the switch. Eliminate the wireless piece and see if that cures the problem.
<br><br>A cordless phone (yours or a neighbor) operating within the 2.4Ghz spectrum could also cause interesting problems. Try moving your wireless to another channel and see if that helps at all.<br><br>If you are encrypting your wireless, and I hope you are, you could be taking a performance hit. Try running WPA with AES encryption. It's almost as fast as unencrypted.
<br><br>Best of luck to you. :-)<br>-Rich<br></div><br></div><br>
