That's been my experience as well Bill. Try the radio streaming 
features on WMP or Real, and man...they're horrible! But grab a radio 
stream from iTunes, and they almost always work.

Ok, I take that back. I'm able to stream from VideoLAN Client to my 
wife's WMP installed Compaq across our wireless network just fine. :)
