Ethernet streaming and occasional white noise on Windows

[Confused]

I put ethernet setting to maximum 5000ms and restarted Jriver and Air, and started a new 24-96 track and miraculously it played through until the following (16-44) random song where it spat out another continuous stream of spitting music and noise.

This is an interesting post, because for me, if I set the buffer to 5000ms and try to play a 24/192 file, AIR then shuts down in about 3 seconds. Although with 24/48 or 24/96 the 5000ms buffer still works.
