[QUOTE="groovearchive, post: 361948, member: 29368"] So I got my "always on top" answer... very appreciated. So maybe you can help me out here. I have a PC at home that I use as a media server. When the wife and I are in bed and want to relax and watch some downloaded tv or movie - drm free of course - we take out the macbook and connect over wifi to our linksys router, which the pc is connected to via ethernet. So as I understand it, my macbook is connecting over SMB to my pc to play the videos. If I was using my pc laptop, I experience no problems. Using my macbook (2.2 core2) I experience skipping/twitching/pausing while playing the divx videos in quicktime. It happens in the Divx PLayer as well, but much less. I would say in quicktime its unplayable, in DivX player is just annoying. Considering the full connection speed, I am very confused. 54mbit shoul dbe enough to stream a divx file. Is the SMB connection really causing this much overhead? if there is a thread on this already (as i imagine I am not the only one experienceing /about this, please direct me to it.) I appreciate your help. (and yes, in a perfect world, id replace the pc with a mac.) [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
