Microsoft has a network monitor which also monitors Wifi - but I think it is Vista only. Use this as a start point http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=18b1d59d-f4d8-4213-8d17-2f6dde7d7aacdisplaylang=en and here http://blogs.technet.com/netmon/ -- bpa

Re: [slim] SB3 drop out when transfering large files

but the network speed won't be much better (signal strength in my flat is pretty good). Speed will be much better - 100mbs/sec vs at best 54mb/sec. I think Wifi also has dead time between packets which will further reduce throughput. Even if you manage 54mbs/sec - it is shared amongst all

[slim] SB3 drop out when transfering large files

I find if I transfer large files on my wireless laptop then I get massive drop out on the SB3. Is there a way to increase the network priority of the SB3 (I am sure this is a network thing, not a processor problem). The problem seems worse when I run two sync'd SB3s. I have SS 6.5 running on an

Re: [slim] SB3 drop out when transfering large files

Your router is a likely culprit. Some routers will allow you to give higher priority to certain file types. One that I know of is the Linksys WRT54GL, for which 3rd party firmware is available that can do this, though I haven't had to try it myself yet. Another possibility is to use a wired

By coincidence I actually have a LinkSys WRT54GX. Any idea how I get this software, or what it is called. Presumably I just prioritise .flac files and off I go! -- rbl rbl's Profile:
