Ethereal
Often, a network sniff with Ethereal will be helpful in tracking down problems. The sniffer software is free, and is available at http://www.wireshark.org
The usual approach:
- Shutdown the remote device/computer
- Shutdown Media Center
- Turn off any sources of unneeded network traffic (e-mail clients, for example)
- Start wireshark
- Start Media Center
- Start the remote device/computer
- Reproduce the problem
- Stop wireshark sniffing
- Save the file, and make it available to J. River
