I'm pulling a 196kb stream through RadioIO, Radio ;paradise and others through my computers, without interruption. Yet I can't even maintain a 48kb station (tried last night) through my Squeezebox, after all the computers in the network were turned off, and nothing else sharing the network (I have a 6 megabit unshared broadband line, which, when I test its speed to servers in the USA, shows an "actual" connection speed of 5 megabits). It isn't my damn ISP. The problem ONLY happens with the Squeezebox, and has only started happening in the last 9 months (after over 6 years of use). -- billingsgate www.humorist.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ billingsgate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2822 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82862 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
