I've just installed some cat6 cable in my house - thought I might as 
well while the plasterers were in. I used /some/ common sense, but some 
cables were routed near mains cables and I wired the wall sockets 
myself. So some margin for error ;-)

All works, and I've checked continuity with a cheap cable tester.

Transferring big files is OK - about 1GB/min. Internet works fine - 
50Mbps over ehternet, about the same with wireless enabled.

However, playing video (say, 1GB avi rips) through the Mac Mini/VLC from 
the NAS results in freezing every 10 minutes or so. Same file stored on 
the Mac Mini plays fine. I'm not sure if this is a fault with the 
network. It's wired like this:

Any clues appreciated.
