Sean,
I read that thread, but this problem is different. I can listen to maybe 3-4 songs max before it craps out, no where near the 4 GB limit mentioned. I'm not loading it up with a lot of connections either. I am getting pretty frustrated though! I've used no, 16, 32 and 64 for the cache with no appreciable change is performance.

I have noticed one very strange item. When connecting one time via emplode my empeg came up as empeg-car for the COM entry and RAGE (the name of my empeg) for the tcpip entry. The COM port has inexplicably stopped responding to emplode or Hyperterm even after rebooting the empeg a few times (I've triple checked the settings in both the control panel and in Hyperterm). I'll try a cold boot of my workstation later, but it takes a while so I don't want to do it now.

I'm running out of ideas.
