How long does it take for this to happen? Does MinimServer[QNAP] suddenly disappear from the Kinsky screen? What exactly do you observe when this "losing the QNAP" happens?

Could you try running another server (such as Twonky) on the QNAP? It would be interesting to know whether Kinsky loses everything on the QNAP or just loses MinimServer.

OK. I've never seen it disappear before my eyes, so to speak. However, it seems that it can lose the server within only a few minutes of finding it. Incidentally, I get the same behaviour when using Kinsky on the PC. This morning it had found MinimServer[QNAP] and within 5 minutes had lost it again.

At your suggestion, I installed Twonky on the QNAP this morning and I have been able to get to a state whereby Kinsky can see Twonky on the QNAP, but not MinimServer on the QNAP. I attach a screenshot from Kinsky (Windows) showing this. MinimServer[DiskStation] is the server running on the Synology, of course.
