</div>knetworkmanager is lying to you more than a politician -- that bandwidth is<br>
IMPOSSIBLE on a g connection.<br>
<br>
The *theoretical* limit of a g connection is 45 Mb/s. The actual real world<br>
throughput limit of a g connection is 22 Mb/s. So unless you have three<br>
radios (or are actually using 802.11n), you ain't gettin' that.<br>

</div>What's the data rate of your source file? If it's getting close to the<br>
real-world limit, then forget wireless unless you're living in a corn field<br>
or bomb shelter.<br>

All running 802.2G with wpa. so there should be no problems for you.<br>
<br>My first suggestion would be to update the firmware on your router, and wireless drivers on all connected devices possible. I have done that on a couple of networks belonging to friends that have played up.<br></div>
</div><br>the other thing to check for is interference. check what other devices are operating. Microwaves are a favorite. See if your dropouts happen at regular times, this may give a clue to the problem. <br><br>Also have you checked that everything works over a wired link? May not be the network.<br>
<br>Hope this is helpful.<br><br>Gaz<br>
