I have a home LAN with 1 PC as a file/print Server ( using Clarkconnect) and 2 PCs as "Workstations", both running Kanotix/Debian and dual booting to Win XP Pro.

I have "ripped" a couple of movie DVD's to .iso files and copied them onto the Server.

When I play them back on the Workstation PCs, either under Kanotix or XP, the video is jerky and the sound stutters/drops in and out.

All PCs are Athlon XP 2400 or faster with either 512k or 1gb ram, with onboard 10/100mbs ethernet. My ethernet switch is also 10/100 and all cabling is Cat5.

The Server is about 12 meters from the 2 PCs.

Any suggestions re why the video and sound don't plat properly will be appreciated, as will suggested "fixes" for same.

Bill
