Network whizzkid required!!

I don't have any st-st-st-stuttering problems on my wireless network (matching Belkin G hardware all around), but I'll still supersize my SageClient buffer just so kny3twalker doesn't feel ignored. Thanks for the tip!

hehe

I increased the buffer from 20 to 200

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Frey Technologies\Common\DSFilters\MpegDeMux\NumBuffers
default is 20
change to 200

Dave and cayars bring up an excellent point about the b/w -- unless you're lucky and/or have very specific network conditions you most likely won't see any increase in performance (and it may decrease because of contention).

a note on bridging mentioned above -- I think you guys are misunderstanding what bridging is meant to do . either that, or I'm out in left field, but I just read the XP definition of its bridging just to be certain and as far as I can see it will not do anything that even resembles teaming or trunking from a functionality perspective... it's meant to do (sortof) the job of a router.

if somebody wants to educate me on how bridging = bonding/teaming/trunking then please do. certainly the definition of bridging I'e always used in networking parlance never means that

To the original poster .. if you really want more performance, go wired. If you just dont wanna waste your cards .. well Im sure you can find something to do with another wireless nic

Cory is correct,

XP bridging is to let two networks talk to each other. Example Computer with two nic's is named Computer B with it's 1st nic it can talk to Computer A. With it's second nic, it can talk to Computer C. So A can talk to B and B can talk to C, but A cannot talk to C.

This is where Bridging comes in. It routes packets from the A to B network to the B to C network and vice versa. All this will do is double the packets to one of the networks, and doing nothing for wireless.
