Re: wireless device cant go thru wap to nfs/smb server

Hey, You might consider doing some tests to see if you get packet loss to the NFS/SMB server. That seems to be the issue. It would make sense that nfs would act weird, as nfs doesnt like packet loss :) What is happening with winamp seems logical as well, in this situation. If it does indeed tur
