I am experiencing difficulties with my Winamp? I have Firefox. When I am playing songs I get a lot of delays and for some strange reason, it actually skips?? I have tried to not have any programs running to see if that would effect it? It doesn't. Some days it's worse than others. I have noticed that WD does not experience any of these interuptions?????

I like Firefox, but also have experienced such bugs with it. It isn't even version 1 yet, so give it time. In the meantime, I'll stick with IE.

I really don't want to have to go through the pain of chaning my internet provider again. It's sucks. I had Opera and that stunk big bags of garbage. I am truly getting pissed off! I keep thinking I have to empty cookies or some cooky crap like that??? I'm desperate now cause I really listen to the music all the time!!

If I recall, your connection is wifi right?... you are experiencing either interference and/or when someone else is using the net it sucking up the bandwidth.

That version 1 / beta naming business with Firefox is a joke, its only a made up number, they must have had a 100 plus builds released

soooo... have you nailed down your problem?

Not yet, but what you suggested makes real sense. I do have the wireless remote thing. So I'm thinking that's it. Not much I can do about either I'm sure?

If its interference from outside sources, there is not much you can do, if its bandwidth being sucked, you may have to up your wifi signal to an 802.11g or one of these extreme 802.11g that will give you 100mbit/s.

Anything lower will kill audio and video.

I hope that helps.

or use wires

so, you stream your audio files over the wifi too? if so, there's your problem stated above. not enough bandwidth

does the problem still exist if you listen to local mp3's while surfing the net?

if it is still a prob with locals i dont think its firefox... i have no probs with such a thing

well, me neither, but i have GBlan

What's GBlan? is the 802.11g an expensive item? Today, I notice no problem at all. I think it's cause WD is at work using his computer there? If he's home will the 802.11g get rid of the interuptions?

GB lan is GigaBit lan. ethernet. not wireless.

My guess is your wireless network can't handle it. Copy a few of the music files to your local disk and play them there. I bet the problem goes away.

i have winamp 5 and 802.11g....

i am streaming audio from my nephews machine and all is smooth as silk

My D-Link Air DWL 122 is small like a flash drive and STABLE!!! Never dropped once with the D-Link software installed. You MUST DISABLE the Wireless Zero Configuration service and install the vendor's drivers and monitoring app.

With the shitty windows service, the connection would drop every few minutes!! Lousy Microsloth

I am running with 128 Bit encryption as well and not ONE drop!! I am at the other end of the house too and I get 100% link quality and signal strength (never drops below 75% at miniumum)... DAMN I love this tiny keychain USB wireless thinghy

the D-Link DSW 122 was 30 bucks after a 10 dollar rebate

mmmmm... giga goodness.

It's the distance and going through a doble floor to get to her PC u[stairs - it happens in all the programs that access our network.
