The freezing behavior is likely caused by a network driver issue. I suggest
updating your PC's Ethernet card drivers to the latest version available
from your PC OEM's website.

Incidentally, I got some Develo 85 Mbps powerline adaptors and they are
great
for the internet connection, but it proved impossible to get MCE streaming
to
the xbox 360 through them - no idea why.

Hi all,

Hoping someone here can assist.

I am trying to stream HD content from my media center pc to my xbox 360
wirelessly - currently on 802.11g. The network performance tool shows a
signal that usually goes one or two bars into the "ok for hdtv" area,
but
when trying to access these on the xbox 360 the thing just freezes. I
assume
that this is therefore a bandwidth problem. Standard definition video
(mpg
from a dvd for example) works fine. Strangely, if I use Transcode360 it
seems
to be able to stream the HD content (not every file, but most of them).

My question is, would using an 802.11a router be likely to alleviate
this
problem. Are there any other solutions? My options so far include using
a usb
extension cable to position the xbox wireless adaptor in a more
favourable
location or getting an 802.11a router - cat5 is not an option as my
current
house is rented.

Any ideas?
