[QUOTE="Kit Elliott, post: 1081193, member: 139169"] Thanks for your input guys. fritz.box is the name of the router, so I am guessing that the entries such as htpc.fritz.box are referring to a connection to the router? Why, I don't know. IPv6 was indeed enabled on both the server and the client, but not on the router. Have now disabled on both, but regrettably no change. Interesting things happening on the i/o though. As soon as the laptop is switched on (before MP is started) the tv service recognises it. I assume it is just looking for things on the network. Without starting the client on the laptop, there appears to be i/o activity on the tv service around 1.5 kB/s. As soon as the client is started, this drops to around 306 B/s. When I select a programme to watch on the client, a long pause on the client then a black screen. However, the i/o activity on the server jumps to around 1.5 mB/s (must have inadvertently selected an HD channel on this occasion, as that is about the same as when I select an HD channel on OfficePC - the desktop client which works fine). This seems to indicate to me that the server thinks it is sending the data, but the client is only receiving around 1.5kB/s at this point. Seems to be getting throttled somewhere. FYI, I have already tried using a different router with just the server htpc and the client laptop connected, but there is no change. Weird. If it was just the one laptop, I would just assume it was the laptop itself, but this happens on two completely different laptops. Weirder and weirder. Soon as I get a chance, I am going to re-install a virgin win7 on the lpatop and see if that solves the problem. [/QUOTE]
