[QUOTE="pnyberg, post: 387749, member: 24255"] Have you tried different NIC settings (100Mbit/Full/Half duplex)? For me I got rid of my occassional stuttering when setting both client and server NICs to 100Mbit/Half duplex. The switches I have support Full duplex but for some reason it doesn't work to well with this. Setting my NICs to "Auto" also produced occassional stuttering. My experience is that switches/routers almost never work well with "Auto" setting on the clients. The best thing is always to hard set the switch ports and NICs to the same speed and duplex. I am a professional IT systems engineer and on my customers site we never use Auto on the client NICs. If you have 1Gbit NICs and switches there is no problem because afaik you don't have half/full duplex - it is always full duplex. The problem is that switches aimed for the home market usually don't give you the option to hard set the switch ports to for instance 100Mbit/Full. So imo experience the second best alternative is to set both end equipment to 100Mbit/Half (Full seems not to work that well on home switches for some reason). Test for yourself. [/QUOTE]
