Hi, i moved from 5.05 to 6.14 when it came out, and to a and b respectfully.

 

But as soon as i moved to version 6, i was getting constant problems with watching media, it pausing up for several seconds.

 

Ended up setting up a constant ping to the server, which would show a spike and time outs when the issues occurred. But having the ping setup also helped with the frequency and time of the pause, where it would only pause for a few seconds rather then upto 30 or more.

 

Anyway, i ended up trying a few nic's i had neither of the 2 pci-e worked, an intel and a tp link . but got a pci one working an edimax brand that's using a realtek chipset, and the problem is no more.

 

So that leads me to believe there could be a problem with drivers for my on board nic chipset a marvel 8056

 

 

 

Do you still have a syslog from when the pauses were happening

i wouldn't, cause of the restarts?

 

but very easy to make a new one. I can just plug back into the other one, restart and watch a show

 

randomninjaatk, I split your post off into its own topic, see here.  You don't have a Marvell driver, or a Realtek.
