i've got my dvd drive on my pc to show on my network too so i can watch other avi's that i've got on dvd and from what i can remember that doesnt have any freezing on it, so it sounds more like its gonna be the way that it was encoded like what Howard2k was saying above.

you are correct they can be both wireless and still work but it will buffer alot I have tried this with my laptop wirelessly connected and my axim wirelessly connected and it has to buffer every 2-3 mins with my pc streaming the same file directly connected to the router I get no buffering

yes there is a thread on here somewhere about how much to increase it

it sounds like it could be 1 of 2 things. the first is the encoding rate, which you can re-encode the video file to take care. the second may be that your devices are too far from the router to maintain an 11mbit connection. if this is the case, they can drag the connection down to whatever the lowest speed is. if your laptop is only getting a 2mbit connection, your axim will only get a 2mbit connection and that bandwidth is shared between two devices.

i would try the encoding first, though, as that's the easiest thing to fix. use virtualdub to re-encode the file with a lower bitrate and you may find that it resolves the issue.

Go into settings, pump up cache to 8MB, then press pause when you first start your streaming program. Go make yourself a frosty drink, then un-pause and enjoy your show.

thanx, i'll try them two (re-encode & up buffer to 8mb).

shouldnt be a problem with the distance as im only about 3meters away from the access point.

is there a program i can put on my x50 that tell's me what mb connection i've got to my wireless?

To determine your connection speed you can open Pocket Internet Explorer and enter this URL
http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_me...-7254_7-0.html
Input the info requested and click go.

My x51v gives me a speed of 816 kbs, my desktop PC which is connected via ethernet cable is 2.2 mbs.

You might have to click on the above URL to get the full URL as it is shortened in the post
