I maintain 2 wireless networks in my house to separate my bursty PC traffic from the music stuff. I figured it was just easier, and I've never had any issues with my SB2 for either FLAC or MP3. Don't know if that would help you or not. Obviously if your PC is 802.11b vs. G, that could cause some issues since it limits bandwidth of the wireless system (even for the G nodes). -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41275 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
