Kinsky, MinimServer, and QNAP

[gnomus]

For reasons that I have discussed elsewhere, I have MinimServer installed on 2 NASs. One is a Synolgy DS213j (this is used for SONOS wirelessly throughout the house), and the other is a QNAP HS-210. The QNAP sits in the listening room, and is connected via a network switch directly to my Akurate DS.

I have an Apple Airport Express plugged into the same network switch, and this 'talks' to an Apple Airport Extreme elsewhere in the house (the Express is functioning as a wireless extender).

The DS system is controlled via Kinsky on iPad.

On Kinsky I can always see the Akurate DS and I can also see my Klimax Kontrol.

When I go to my libraries in Kinsky, I can always see MinimServer on the Synology. However, it is frequently the case that Kinksy does not see MinimServer on the QNAP. The wife has discovered that if she closes down Kinsky (that is 'sweeps it away'), then restarts it, MinimServer (QNAP) instantly re-appears. She claims this works every time.

That may be so, but it would be nice to be able to pick up the iPad and get going without having to go through this rigmarole.

By the way, this seems only to have been happening over the last few weeks or so.
Does anybody have any ideas?
