- 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

The "green light" in Installed Add-ons isn't a reliable indication that MinimServer is running. For this, you need to click on MinimServer from the Installed Add-ons page to display up a pop-up titled Add-on Manager. The grey or green light at the top right corner of this pop-up is a reliable indicator of whether or not MinimServer is currently running.

I am almost sure that you will find that MinimServer has crashed. If so, it is possible that there might be a bug in ohNet that could cause MinimServer to crash if the lease wasn't renewed (or for some other reason). To confirm whether or not this is happening, please do the following:

1) Last thing in the evening, set the ohnet.debug property to All-Timer and set the MinimServer logging level to Debug

2) Allow MinimServer to run overnight and crash

3) Before you restart MinimServer using FrontView, copy the minimserver.log file from the backup share, zip it and email it to me
