Last night I brought my computer over to a friend's house where we connected via LAN. No problems, all was fine. Training and saved videos played normally. Today, I set up my computer back at home and I notice that all my videos are extremely choppy. What gives? TIA

Good suggestion, Dave, but yes, I have always had a NIC in there (using XP Pro). However, the other computer had a NIC installed just for our session. I don't think that could have had anything to do with it. -- Regards, Brian "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cs4q9.19433$gr6.19363@rwcrnsc53... > > "I_Eat_PlayDoh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > Last night I brought my computer over to a friend's house where we > connected > > via LAN.
