Thanks J. I did think of this idea. Yes, both switches are running normal at 1G to the best of my limited comprehension. Today was fine; so I believe the trouble is/was upstream. In the next few days I will further test my local LAN w/your suggestion. So far, all local views appear to be running

As long as your switch can handle 1G/FD from the Yukon, then that should not be an issue for the LAN connection. As to the upstream post-router to the internet best test is to download a really large file & see what throughput you get. Better still is to use a multi-thread/connection download

Soren, Thank you again. I will save your traceroute suggestion for the next time I get this odd dropout behavior. I really do need to try this cmd and get used to using it. I am listening to the same link today and there are no dropouts (yet). I can only suppose that the problem really does

Maybe a NIC running in half duplex? Do you have any tweak options for the buffer in your media player? Best, Soren DHSinclair wrote: I like to listen to remote radio programs with the PC. I am having trouble with one from LA (krla870). It comes via streamaudio.com and the Salem radio network.

I like to listen to remote radio programs with the PC. I am having trouble with one from LA (krla870). It comes via streamaudio.com and the Salem radio network. I can get the player to load and sync, but then the audio stream starts dropping out; frequent "buffering..." outages. I suspect it m
