This makes sense. When I first used mBox and ProTools LE, every  time I
went to my other band's house to record, ProTools would get constant
buffer errors, even with high buffer settings. The source was simple. I
run a wireless network at home for all our notebook computers. My friend
doesn't have a wireless access point, so my wireless card was constantly
searching for one...that was enough to distract it and make ProTools a
lower priority....took me forever to figure that one out!!!
