Lost Signal

Feb 28, 2011 12:42AM PST

I have a DSL connection coming into the house to an ATT router. The router is both wireless and ethernet (4 female plugs). I have my first computer (Windows XP Media Ed) connected via ethernet cable. I have another computer connnected via ethernet cable to my TV in another room.
The Problem:
When I Stream radio to the first computer and then stream the same radio station on the second computer which is also a standalone system (both computers playing the same station at the same time-usually with a slight delay) , I ocassionally "lose the signal" ON THE SECOND COMPUTER (i.e.,I get a message on the TV screen the the signal has been lost and there is no radio being played). If I move the mouse the signal returns until the next time I lose it. I never lose the signal on the first computer. Is there a way to avoid losing the signal on the second computer?
I have my power scheme set to 'always on' and my system standby is set to 'never'. The same is true for my monitor hard drive, they are set to never.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks Larry
