For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why my lossless audio files were skipping when I would play them from my desktop over the network. They played fine from my laptop.
While tooling around in the Properties for my Local Area Connection, I found an Advanced setting called Connection Type that allowed me to set duplex. Even though the switch showed the connection from the desktop as Full Duplex, the desktop's Connection Type setting was set to Half Duplex. Setting this toggle to Full Duplex solved the problem-- and now audio files play smoothly from the desktop again.
This all wasn't a problem until I moved and stopped using a 100Mb hub (half-duplex). Sheesh.
