music over wireless network.

I've got a 2 computers (PC - laptop) wireless network setup going through a Belkin wireless 54g router. The net work run's fine, file and printer sharing, net access. My big problem is accessing MP's that are on my PC with my laptop. I can see the files and play them, it when playing them I have the trouble.
They just stop and start, it's like a bit gets downloaded and then played then a bit more and so on.
Signal strenth is good 30Mbps - 50Mbps.
I've pinged from both machines and the worst result I got bacl was 3ms but there's no packet loss.
Tried using Media player 9, winamp and musicmatch but to no joy.

Any ideas please?

That is one of the disadvantage of wireless. Your signal depends upon the quality of space between the router and the computer. Do you have the same problem when both are in the same room close together?

yeah even next to each other.

Give more info about your computers? os, cpu, ram, harddrive size/space available.

ok PC is 1.8 Gig procesor running XP home with 512 ram. Has around 3 gig free space on the master drive. Laptop is 2.6 gig procsor running XP home with 512 ram and 23 gig free space.

It's almost as if there's not enough of a buffer. it's downloading a bit then playing it but not downloading anymore whilst it's play. like a stream should.
