Hi,
I did as you suggested that is DNS and Boxee connected directly to the switch together with other devices such as Ps3 and my desktop PC; well, in this case Boxee is performing not very good, a lot of buffering playing 1080p movies but if I connect DNS directly to router and all other devices to the switch everything is perfect...according to what I read in this tread it makes non sense...what do you think could be the problem?

BTW my switch is a dlink DGS 1008D

You're using a good GB switch. My first thought at this point is to examine your cabling. Poor cabling can substantially impact throughput performance.  Are you using Cat6 cables? Damaged or improperly shielded cables will hamper network performance. You may want to try using new Cat6 cables on the DNS-230 and BB.

During your testing, when you moved your devices from the switch to the router (or visa versa) were the same cables connected to the DNS-320 and BB or did you move the devices and use different cables? If so, you may want to try moving the devices along with the cables they are currently attached to and measure performance
