Problems with Audio Streaming
Hi!!! If your streaming audio occasionally stops briefly and then starts back-up again, this is most likely due to your Internet connection. If your Internet connection is too slow or is busy downloading other large amounts of data, then it may intermittently not be able to handle all the streaming data as fast as necessary. In these cases, you will usually see a "buffering message" in your player. Also, some employers block access to streaming media to preserve company bandwidth. If you are able to listen to the stream from home but are unable to connect to the server from work, that may be the problem.
I guess almost everyone has or has had problems with audio streaming at some time. It can be very annoying especially as you point out there is not much you can do about it. I tend to avoid the peak times that I think will be heavy on bandwith usage and look to use the "unsociable hours" for this type of operation.
i stream 800k baseball games from mlb.com on an hp media laptop with a 3 gig cpu, 1 gig of ram. 128 video. the stream is always perfect. just like tv.
i 's-video' the stream into to my big screen lcd.
and i have a 900 mhz amd with 256 ram, 32 meg video, and it streams a/v just as good.

I think I have something called a tunable chip from Intel, which means I can pick things up from 1,500 feet away without any noticeable difference. I'm not sure what network card I have, I know that the 802.11g has the fastest connection and is interchangeable. (Each hot-spot can handle 10-100 network cards) 802.11 network or wifi, short for wireless fidelity. Supposedly this new technology is so powerful that it can handle phone calls, HDTV, music etc. standing on it's head with one hand tied around it's back. The best cities for the UN-Wired are: 1. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Northern CA 2. Orange County CA 3. Washington D.C. 4. Austin TX 5. Portland Oregon 6. Seattle WA 7.Bergen-Passaic NJ 8. Middle sex NJ 9. San Diego CA 10. Denver CO
