"Buffer is empty" info message

[MTL]

A "Buffer is empty" info message occurs when trying to play a DivX file over a local network with BSPlayer Pro 1.33 821 24 Jun 2005. WinXP Pro, Pentium M notebook with Radeon 9000 graphic card. All drivers updated.

I have tried different combinations of network buffer settings (buffer up, prebuffer down; prebuffer up, buffer down; both up, both down, etc.), reloading the BSPlayer after each setting - nothing works. I have obviously messed something up, but I started trying only when buffering did not help to produce smooth playing.

Two questions: how to get rid of the error message, and what are the guidelines to increase the smoothness of the play over a local (wireless) network.

Thank you!
