packet priority on MP streaming (1 Viewer)

[charli181]

hoping someone can help out here. I don't think this is a MP issue but more of a network/OS thing

I have TV Server installed on a win 2003 Server and the clients are on xp/win 7. My Server is also used for Email/web/file storage/Domain controller. The TV Server has the timeshift writting to an 8GB IDE drive (nothing else is used for this drive). All other files storage is on a 1TB SATA II drive. OS is on another SATA II drive.

Whenever I put copy a large amount of data (e.g. DVD Movie)across to the file storage Drive on the server from elsewhere on the network, my TV streams are affected for other clients. The network connection is 100MB.

Is there any way that I can prioritize the network output for the TV Stream over everything else coming from the server?

What else can I do to try and trouble shoot this issue.

just a thought
what about having another network card installed and have the ip on that only for the tv server, clients would then connect to that ip for tv and the other network card for other network traffic

I was hoping I could do it in software/configuration and not buy extra hardware.... motherboard has no extra slots, only usb left....

Of topic: There are USB network cards

i think win2003 allows QOS to be setup via group policy, that should be able to do what you want
