Are you using a wireless connect from the laptop to the desktop?  If so, that 
could be the issue.

I remember when I purchased my wireless router I was considering a slower 
system.  The tech told me that on the wireless side I would possibly notice 
some lag if I were streaming large, high-quality video or maybe even audio 
files.  Since the better router was only another 20 dollars, and I knew he was 
telling me the truth since some friends had told me the same thing, I went with 
a faster router and have not experienced any problems either connecting to the 
other computer or to the internet.

Hi listers!

I have a network connection to my laptop and desktop. All my music is on an
external hard drive that is connected to my laptop computer. Last night, I
was playing some music through my network and I notice something with it.
Every now and then, the track I am listening to stop in Winamp. I guess you
can say it locks up then starts again. Then locks up then starts again.
Basically what I am saying is that it sounds like it is buffering but it's 
not. When I go to the laptop and play the same track, it works fine. I am 
trying to figure
out if this is a network issue, or a connection to the network that Winamp
is having a problem with. If this question is to technical for the list, I'm
sorry. Any and all help would be
appreciated.
