Just remember, it's ONLY a problem WHILE streaming from my main PC to the living room PC.
If I transfer the content TO the living room PC and play it locally, it works great. |
We get that

but we also want to cover all our bases before suggesting or looking into a network problem. MKV HD files should play find over a 100Mb wired connection even, so it's doubtful its a network connectivity issue, especially if youre just going through a "dumb" unmanaged gigabit switch. So then it's either a codec issue - which deals with buffers and how the files are handled when streaming, or a sharing issue as Supergrover suggested. Networking problem would be my 3rd choice :P
Edit:
Alienware M11x uses a GT335m doesnt it? Thats far newer then an 8800gt
