    Can anyone tell me why my audio networked from my farms seems to get "bottle necked" and cuts in and out when coming into my host computer?

    Set-up:

    •Mac G5 with Digital Performer 6 as my host 

    •6 Mac Minis

    •VE3 network (Lynksys SD2008 8 Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Router)

    Let me know if you need any further info and I'll provide that

    Thanks,

     a few thoughts - ahead: aren't the minis 100 Mbit only?

    - make sure you don't have unnecessary network services and traffic (especially multicasts)

    - disable all not needed network protocols (eg. afp), i'd recommend fixed IP adresses

    - have all computers in the same workgroup and network settings are appropriate

    - AFAIK the Lynksys SD2008 is a switch, not a router, maybe internet connection sharing is enabled on your G5?

    - double chek to have only 1 gateway (router) entry on the G5 and network ranges for external and internal are seperate.

    Christian,

    Wow, you are right...the Mini is only 100Mbit! I had NO idea! So, I assume that this is going to make quite a bit of difference handling audio "thru the pipe" so to speak?

    Thanks,
