IMHO With audio network dealys and congestion are rarely the main issue as they are serving many many users. If they are a bit slow then they are exposing an issue in your setup. I don't use VPNs so I can't go into great details but from other users, I know VPNs can cause "odd" problems - is it a real VPN or just one that messes with DNS ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108282 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
