Since I switched to channel 11, everything seems to work fine. Can't believe it. The ping-results changed too -- while I had response times of about 20 - 100ms yesterday (and days before), after the channel-switch the replies already arrived after only 1.00 - 1.10ms. Crazy. Thanks for your help folks. Next time I'll try to be more -sec-. ;) -- finger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ finger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39421 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
