On my system, with my NIC, and XP, setting the interface to 100Mbps FD as suggested is the wrong thing to do. On my XP/Nvidia system this definitely turns off Autonegotiation. This caused me tens of hours of time investigating what was wrong. It's not your fault I followed your suggestion, and you were not the only one to propose that option (I had come across it some time previously). No one can know everything about every bit of kit.
It is also not impossible that using different switches in the network could change the behaviour. I would be very interested to know what your system does without Autoneg when the Touch is directly connected to your server. I have taken some illustrations of the change in network traffic behaviour. The first is at 100 Mbps FD, the second is with Autoneg for 100FD. Same track, PCM 24/96. You can see, and hear, the difference. I do think you should warn people in your TT 2.0 instructions that this MIGHT cause rebuffering problems for them, as it did for me. It is a simple change for people to make, and could (not will, but could) save them hours of time. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: network traffic autoneg 2.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11912| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- PasTim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
