Minimserver 0.72 crashes nightly on ReadyNas Ultra+

I've had a couple more instances of the nightly crash problem; last night and the night before.

You may see from other threads that I've been trying to chase down the problem of the DS playlist disappearing and I have now apparently got a credible explanation of the problem from Linn. They are pointing at the lease renewal process in the router.

I am wondering if this might also explain in any way the problem of the overnight stop of the server. A recap on current symptoms:

- MinimWatch greyed out in the morning and inaccessible via the PC
- Control points unable to see MinimServer
- I can still access the ReadyNAS via its usual IP address (which implies that it must have eventually renewed its address, I guess)
- In ReadyNAS Frontview, MinimServer is reported as still running (that is, when I look in 'Installed Apps' it still has a green light in top-left corner). So I'm guessing that MinimServer has not actually crashed
- The problem is cleared by stopping and restarting MinimServer in FrontView

If the ReadyNAS had lost its IP lease for a while, might that in any way explain the problem with MinimServer being up but not visible to the network?
