Problems using TVersity

Davey_Pitch · 28-01-2008, 11:54

I formatted and setup my computer in the upstairs bedroom last night, put the new wireless card in, and connected it to the network (with a signal strength of 95% according to the wireless card software). I downloaded and installed TVersity and set up a simple share of a music folder, and went away to happily play on the 360 while listening to some music.

However, I soon ran into problems. Every minute or so, the music would stop as the network seemed to hang. Sometimes it would only hang for a second or so, other times it would stop for a couple of minutes before carrying on. I tried disabling the firewall on the PC incase that was having any effect, and I know the PC didn't actually lose it's connection to the network as the music would have stopped completely if that were the case.

Along the same lines, I was also trying to use Remote Desktop to control the XP machine using the Vista laptop, and the speed was unbelievably slow. At times it also seemed to hang for a couple of minutes before letting me do anything.

I'm hoping I've missed something simple somewhere and that's not a problem with the wireless connection upstairs, but does anyone have any ideas I could try when I get in? It was late last night when this happened so I didn't get much chance to troubleshoot, so I'm starting that fresh tonight. If I can't figure it out I may have to try to run a wire upstairs which I'd like to avoid if possible.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
