Yes. I'm typically accessing the server from my laptop computer over a wireless network. > Is there sufficient network bandwidth to get these images to load? Yep. Can do this with little else going across the network (as in: nothing). The network is wireless, 802.11g, and I'm in line-of-sight of the router. Windows indicates excellent signal strength and a speed of 54 Mbps. No other computers are on the network at the moment, and the only thing I'm doing on my computer is typing what you're reading. Also, consider that the graphics for the volume numbers size in at the sub-100 byte range (the number 1 graphic is a paltry 85 bytes), I don't think it should be a problem). Additionally, they will load fine if I right click the empty graphic marker in IE and select "Load Picture." That should also make sure the image is in the cache. But then I do a page refresh, and the image doesn't show, an image I know to be in my cache, so bandwith isn't an issue. > Also you're using Windows Server 2003, which is unusual.

I had our home server running Windows XP Pro some time back (pre-Slimserver), but an associate who had won a copy of Server 2003 at a Microsoft event had no need of it, and offered it to me. Anything good enough for the office is good enough for home, I say. Operationally, it is more secure than its predecessors, but has no problems running other software (to the best of my knowledge). Note: when I finally click on enough "buttons" in the Slimserver interface, it will begin to behave better, and finally at some point it will start showing all the graphics. Hmmm. I just tested it. When playing, it seems to send the graphics much better (all of them), and when refreshing the screen when in pause, many of the graphics don't show up, as I described before). Is this a clue? > If you're using SlimServer as a service you may want to give it higher > priority? Just a guess here. Server is already set to give best performance to background services, and typically nobody is even logged in locally (and normally not remoted in, either). I do have several active shares mapped off of the server to my laptop, but that isn't consuming any processor cycles or network bandwidth. Looking at Task Manager on the server, it is about 97% idle on the CPU, and the machine has lots of RAM. The server twiddling its thumbs. Serving up the Slimserver web pages should hardly cause a blip.
