Fw: Microsoft wake up to X-Box potential ?

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxx>]

Using SMB is def. a sure fire way for hanging. Best to get Relax or
equivalent up and running.

Slight aside:

I've had my Xbox playing audio over my network for sometime now but last
night was the first time I've sat down to watch long video using XBMP
over my LAN - and I ran into trouble.

Approximately after 10mins of viewing my video, it would just freeze.
Nothing happening, it seemed. Had to reboot Xbox. Samething happened
after a further 10mins of viewing..

My media is on a Linux box and shared using Samba. Anyone else come
across this ?? Had a quick scan of the forums on xbox-scene, but nothing
definitive comes up other than "try using Relax", which of course
I
cannot as it's for Linux.

Cheers,
Rob
