Yeah, I also started to use relax and XBMC and heres a couple things Ive played around with, see if it helps you. Im sure you followed the directions that came with the Relax prog, the ones in the Documents folder when you unrar it. I also did this:
In WinXP:
Click Start, Right click My Computer, choose Manage
Go to Services and Applications, click the +
Go to Services
Scroll down to RelaX
Right click RelaX, Choose Properties
Go to Recovery Tab
Under First Failure, Choose Run a Program
Under Run Program, Choose \path\to\relax_ns.exe (On my computer, it was C:\RelaX\relax_ns.exe)
Under Second Failure, Choose Restart the Service
I did nothing with Third Failure
After that, Ive seen much better performance from Relax. I run it across 2 seperate subnets, and the XBox can play every file Ive got on my RelaX Shares. I was able to use it pretty much the whole weekend with out having to restart the service once, as compared to the 2 days before that, I was restarting it 4 or 5 times a day. Hope this helps.
Edit:Grr forgot the double backslashes.
