working with XP is an adventure at best and a horror show at its worst!!

I use my ethernet port and never had problems...then as the disc became full (>9GB of 10GB) I had problems..would get hung up then time out....then I upgraded to V2-13 and still had problems..then reloaded the firmware in the HU and things seemed (!) to work for a change......

There is absolutely no consistence with performance....and my only observation is the more time it takes to sync to better a chance of having problems...which is dependant upon how much music you have on the dirve.....or so it seems to me!

Good Luck!!
