Right, got a new laptop and router today. the router in question is a WRT54GL with Tomato firmware.

basicly, im trying to watch 700-2gb AVI files, mostly DivX or similar on the laptop but everynow and then it will pause for a few seconds. now i dont know what it is, i have a few ideas

- wireless connection being flakey (although full strength signal)
- laptop having problems decoding the files (its a 1.8ghz celeron m + via gfx card) im using ffdshow, could i use something faster?
- my computer (the computer with the files" being slow
- high network traffic (there is quite a bit going on, but nothing that should come anywhere close to 100mbps of the cables

any ideas on how to diagnose this problem?

*edit*

my computer is running xp, lappy is runing vista home basic

cheers people
