No

This indicates that the QNAP is not receiving UPnP discovery messages sent by Kinsky. This is probably caused by a multicast issue with your network that is sometimes preventing UPnP discovery messages sent by Kinsky from being received by MinimServer[QNAP]. What exactly are the network components that a multicast message would need to traverse in its journey from Kinsky to MinimServer[QNAP]?

Note: This problem is not affecting Twonky[QNAP] because Twonky floods the network with very frequent "alive" messages that are being received by Kinsky. The ohNet UPnP stack used by MinimServer doesn't do this flooding because it shouldn't be needed if the network is working correctly.
