Hi Delbz,

Can't answer that one.  All I know is wifi is very unpredictable.  I am IT Consultant and have worked with wireless since it came out and have always had issues.

I run the Netgear Icebox at home and can access it both wired and wirelss will do some testing over the next few days and see what I can find and let you know.

Hi Delbz,

You will actually find it is to do with the speed of wireless networking.

I used to use my laptop to connect directly to the Topfield before I purchased a Active USB repeater for the pc.  I would download a recordered program onto the laptop so that I could then copy it to my desktop to manipulate it and burn to DVD.  When I first tried this on a 2 hour file going wireless from the laptop to the desktop Windows was of the opinion it would have about about 3 hours left after already running for 1/2 hour.  I then plugged directly into the switch and copied the file in about 25 minutes.  After playing a bit have realised that the 54MBPS wireless is not a realistic speed.

I know that doesn't solve the problem but it does explain the cause.  If you could run an ftp server on the icebox it you would still be slowed down by the transfer speed of wireless network to the IceBox as apposed to a direct usb or network cabled connection.  What you may like to try if you have a network cable and access to the Icebox Port 1 is plug directly into and transfer via cabled rather than wirless.

Hope that was of some help.
