What software were you using? Is there a link?

(Sorry if it was in a previous post - it must have missed me)

When I did my jukebox demo at the London meet, I finished with a demo of its
DiVx Video serving capabilities.

I was watching "Me Myself and Irene" on the laptop being used as the server.

A couple of minutes later Ian Lowe started the same movie showing on his
laptop (obviously a couple of minutes behind my showing).

Then Dr. John started to watch "Dinosaurs" on his laptop. My P3 900 laptop
was happily serving all three movies until I pulled the network cable out
just to prove thet they were coming from my machine.

My laptop was connected to the 100MB switch that was set up for the meet,
but Ian and John were using WIRELESS connections to the WAP connected to the
LAN.

I doubt we could have gone beyond 2 wireless clients but it was certainly
working fine for the 2 in use. I dont know how well it would cope with true
DVD but DiVx worked fine :-)

Have you checked how much bandwidth you're actually getting?  ITYF you
don't get 6Mbps.  802.11b is rated at 11Mbps, but you'll generally only
see half of that, ie. 5.5Mbps.

I thought a DVD was about 2Mbps?  I expect I'm very wrong though!
