This almost sounds like a combination of problems. The ethernet tests
that you've done point at there being some issue with the server
however, that doesn't mean that you may not also have problems with the
radio as you are shifting a lot of data over a relatively slow link for
what you are trying to do.

I have also personally had a couple of netgear router/wireless devices
where the wireless power levels were inexplicably low severely reducing
range which would just as unexplicably correct themselves usually after
a radio config change. (Not interference in my case since I scanned for
that.)

However, two things come to mine about the server. Since all it is
essentially doing is reading a file from disk to the network general
server load and also disk load could impact this.

Checking the system CPU load is fairly simple matter of right click on
the task bar and select Task Manager. Clicking on the performance tab
will give you an indication of whether the CPU is loaded causing
problems.

The other possibility could be the disk. Is you music library on an
internal disk or an external disk. If an external how is it connected
USB1 USB2 SATA etc. Is your library on the same disk as the Slim Server
is installed?

There is also a possibility that you are getting disk errors which are
being resolved but it would slow down the read from the disk so that
when data is being retrieved as well as music causes a problem.
