Help Sharing Files Between Two Replays on the Same Net

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.replaytv (More info?)

Try a different switch - make sure it's a 10/100 not just a 10. Does it
work without the switch? I have a similar setup with 2 behind one switch
that's connected to another switch with 2 more connected to that. No
problems using high speed switches.

You need to run 100Mb Full duplex for streaming to work decently. If you
don't knwo the difference between half-duplex and full-duplex it won't kill
you; but the quality of wiring must be there. I have managed to stream
standard quality shows across a HPNA device (rated for 14Mb, though more
like 6Mb) - but it eventually crashes one or both units.
