You appear to have some problem between the SBReceiver and the file on the disk. That could be one of three likely things (in no particular order)
a) Server overloaded (virus scans, etc, will slow down a server and may even make it painful to use). b) Network overloaded, especially if using wireless. c) Network has high error rate (which will also make it overloaded), again, especially using wireless. I would assume it's not a) since you don't complain of the server itself being painful to use. b) and c) depend on your situation: you want as little wireless as possible. Your wireless router is like a hub: all packets go through it. If the server needs to send data to the player, it has to send it to the router, which sends it to the player. So, if you do that, you are using twice the bandwidth to move data. Avoid that, especially if you have network problems already. Try to wire the server to the router. Most routers, at least in the US, come preset to channel 6. Unless you changed it, yours is probably there, too. So is your neighbors. Try channel 1 or 11. (The channels are like oldschool TV channels: remember ghosting, when you'd watch channel 5 and see ghosts from channel 4? Same thing applies to WiFi and then some: the ghost data appears on the two channels above and two channels below your actual channel. So keep nice spacing between where you are and where your neighbors are to reduce that: it will only appear as noise to you.. and will reduce your usable bandwidth.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78575 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
