I don't think this is the issue.  I used inSSIDer to make sure I was on
a different channel than my neighbours.  It only picked up three...one
on 1 another on 6 and me on 11.

My server is hard-wired to the router.

All my files are essentially flac (16/44), an occasional mp3 at 320,
with a handful of hires at 24/88 and 24/96.  I'm currently having the
files locally decoded on the TOUCH. 

Unfortunately, I've recently noticed another problem.  My hires files
are starting to rebuffer while using the powerline network.  This seems
to have begun since adding the new home plug with my second TOUCH.  I
don't recall ever having a problem playing 24/88 files while I just had
the one TOUCH wired over the powerlines.  Sigh...

Another question: Could the problem with the current rebuffering be on
the computer end?  It's a 5 year old Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz processor
with 2 Gb RAM running VISTA.  Could there be some interference or
congestion going on while transmitting the files??  Grasping at straws
here...

By the way, thank you to everyone for your suggestions.  Much
appreciated.
