[QUOTE="fillerguy, post: 490877, member: 56460"] I recently installed a new gigabit card and I'm now having this problem. I wasn't having this problem with my 100 bit card installed on the same machine (server/client) The gig card uses the default windows NIC driver (driver date 7/1/2001 ver 1.17.34.4). There isn't any updated driver so I am stuck with that. My 100 mbit card uses a newer driver created by the vendor. So I decided to remove that driver and use the built-in default windows driver (driver date 7/1/2001) and the stuttering started on the original adaptor. enable the 100 adaptor using vendor drivers, no problem, on windows driver, stuttering. This is repeatable in my setup. Only the driver changes. another thing I noticed is the streaming speed seems to be capping out @ around 11 mbps. If I watch a sd channel that is under that speed, problem free. My HD streams are about 20 mbps so when using the windows driver, the stream is capped at 11 so the stuttering occurs. So in my mind this is a driver problem. Can people check to see if they are using 1) the latest driver of the nic and 2) it is not the default windows driver (check the driver version). This only occurs on live-tv. Recorded playback is fine with either driver. File transfers are fine using the stock driver. Full bandwidth. The only time I can get the 11 mbps cap to occur is using tvserver & streaming a live-tv stream. netstat -e shows no errors. I'm using cat 6 cable that I've certified so I can say with 100% certainty it is not a hardware/cabling issue. It is something in tvserver streaming having problems with the stock built-in windows NIC driver. It is not a codec issue on the client. The stream speed being capped is causing the stuttering. If it was corrupted data the stream cap would have a ripple, but it doesnt, it is a hard limit being hit. And even more bizzare, it doesn't just go to 11 mpbs, it slowly ramps up to 11 mbps vs when I play back a recording it instantly goes to 20 mbps. [/QUOTE]
