What is your network set-up? I had similar problems when I had two
different wireless routers on different sub-nets. Once I forced them
both onto the same sub-net, the problem disappeared.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
It's the music, stupid.
i have two different subnets for security reasons. one subnet is for lan
