Well, I haven't specifically tried that lately--it was working prior to a reinstall of 98 on my serving system... The wiring was all a fresh install wired in myself. It is an exclusive link (I didn't want it messing with my DSL or phone lines) from my HPNA adapter to the Rio through wall adapters rather than on the phone system. So I'm fairly confident it isn't an integrity or noise issue.

Also, since when the Audio Manager software is open, it finds the player and things look right....Hmm. OK. I'll try what you say and bring it local. Thanks for your suggestion.
