Thanks panoguy, had not seen 64 bit issues mentioned. Shows my nubness to networking.
I have the option of using win7 32 or even xp 32. As I have no need for a network other than access for my live+ to media storage, would either of these be a wiser choice for a more stable wired network?
I understand the need for config specs for specific help and will provide them, but if I a 32 bit os is more network friendly I am more than willing to make the change.
Thanks again.
