because 802.11B is 11Mbps if you have encryption on your network try removing it or set the buffer for the player up to 10megs.
Nope, not even that. 11Mb/s is how much bandwidth there is in the air, but in reality with CSMA/CA on top you'll not get anywhere near that. 5Mb/s (0.625MB/s) is doable. Even at 5Mb/s though the PDA cannot keep up with that. So typically bandwidth is not the biggest issue, it's the performance of the Axim that tends to be the limiting factor. How quickly it can pull the data through the air, process it and display it.
