I assume you are talking about all streaming being a problem for you? Can you stream properly from RTE.ie?

What browser are you running, what specs are your machine etc.? Do you have any firewalls installed...blah, blah, blah. Some information would be good because otherwise it's just guesswork.

Oh, I won't ask you to name the site you are streaming from but I'm sure it's completely legal.

yes streaming is the problem, from RTE it is stop start aswell.
no firewall on either PC.just the Netopia plugged into the Network port on the PC and via wireless on the laptop

I have to computers, laptop and PC, tried 2 different browsers on the 2 computer and still the same problem

Ran the test on irishisp for speed and im getting 2MB approx download and 256MB download.

Im confused??

Not sure which player you use to stream, but if you use Windows Media player, try this instead:

It's miles better. But I have to admit that your speed seems adequate...

I just stream through the browser. so firefox should buffer the content coming from the Net and I use the Mac mostly but ill still that player on the PC and see how it goes
Thanks a mil
