Samsung TV random disconnects-read this especially if you have a laptop server
If you are streaming using a laptop, don't think it has enough power to self-power a wireless internet card, an external or internal modem, and an on-board NIC. It doesn't. Throw in an external USB drive and you really have power problems. The deal is to go to Staples and get a $20 powered usb hub as in with an ac adapter. This will really help and do miracles with random disconnects. Power your devices through it and you will see better results when it comes to streaming. Turn off or disable everything you can on your NIC regarding offsets and flow control and speed and you will see better results. Also, don't count on your antivirus or spyware software. Occasionally, scan your pc with three or four other good packages out there. You would be surprised how many things are on your pc drive and in your registry and in your processes. With these gone, your laptop is good to go. I had almost two years of random disconnects with a Samsung TV and a laptop. It drove me wild to have to use the wireless connection, which worked fine, but not the wired one. It took me two years to figure out all the above and also don't forget to uncheck Ipv6 in your network cards' settings under properties. It is not necessary in Win 7 for Conceiva. It was a real pain figuring all this out but now I can stream to three tv's and and ipad and a iphone all at once. The Samsung TV (a smart tv) was a big issue but no more baby! It works...
