Over the past week I have been updating my setup. I got my hands on an HP MediaSmart Server. Also I bought myself a new power bar / surge protector.
While moving things around and installing the devices I messed up my main computer. After some testing I realized the connection between my hard drive and my mobo had been fried. I disconnected my dvd drive and used that connection for my hard drive. Having everything up and running again I began to update my server wirelessly using my laptop. During this whole process I realized that my buffering issues on my ATV2 running xbmc had disapeared. I have no idea why?! The funny thing is, I haven't moved my content over to the server yet. It still resides on two external hardrives connected to the computer I mentioned above.
Anyone have any thoeries? This may help others I hope.
Here is my setup:
Pentium 4, 3ghz processor, 3gb ram ---> Bell Standard wireless G router (wired)
HP Laptop dual core 2.3 ghz processor, 3gb ram ---> Bell Standard wireless G router (wireless)
HP MediaSmart Server EX75 ---> Bell Standard wireless G router (wired)
ATV2 ---> Powerline 200mps ---> Bell Standard wireless G router (wired)
