No, never any problems with dropouts with wired Squeezeboxes (SB2 &SB3), but problems with the Receiver/Controller setup on WiFi. This led me (some time ago) to check the wired streaming rates to establish what rates the AP could expect to receive the data stream on the Ethernet port. I was surprised that on a Fast Ethernet LAN, it was tripping over itself at 5000 kbps. This led me to try other Windows XP machines as servers, then Linux, resulting in the observations above.
Having by now got used to the feeling that the Duet is intrinsically a bit naff, my current interest is in setting up a new media sever and choosing the best OS to run on it. If the Network Test plugin is a reliable indication, then I might want to avoid XP, but I dont want to dismiss it without convincing myself that it actually is XP rather than some tweak Im missing. Its just occurred to me that my wifes (mainly Photoshop) PC runs Windows 7 Home Premium. Ill put Squeezebox Server + 250 Gig of .flacs on that and see how she runs. -- Skye ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11214 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88962
