Kinsky, MinimServer, and QNAP

2) My Listening Room is downstairs. That is where the Akurate DS, Kontrol and the QNAP is sited. These are connected together with a Network switch (recommended by yourself).
3) Getting the Control Point(s) to communicate reliably with the network has been a bit of a pain. I did have HomePlugs for a while. However, these proved to be worse than useless. Eventually (and on the advice of another forum member) I opted for the Apple Airport Extreme (which is connected to the Router upstairs and is now the Wireless source in the house). This communicates with an Apple Airport Express, which is connected to the Network Switch downstairs.

For the avoidance of doubt the switch to the Apple devices is relatively recent (ie the last week) - the current problems pre-date the Apple gear (which was bought partly in the hope that it would solve the lost QNAP issue). It was only when the Apple gear didn't solve the issue that I posted here.

Thanks for this. To complete the picture, how is the PC running Kinsky connected to the network?
