Mimin Server Disappearing!

When I installed it and start it running it it shows up on MinimWatch on my iMac that is physically connected to my LAN and also is also visible in Kazoo on that machine. Howvever I can't see it at all from any of my WiFi devices (iPhone, iPad & MacBook Air).

After a while it disappears from the devices that are directly connected to the LAN (first from Kazoo - then from MinimWatch). This never happens on the QNAP version running on exactly the same network - its always visible on all devices.

I have performed a completely clean install of Yosemite (server) on the MacMini and currently MinimServer is the only software running on it (apart from the OS !).

My router is a Linksys E4200 with the latest firmware installed (1.0.06) & I have a Cisco SG200 26 Port Smart Switch (so I can run my Linn system in Multicast). The configurations of both the MacMini & QNAP ports on the switch are identical.

Does anyone have any ideas what I need to look at??

Thanks

This sounds like a problem with IGMP snooping. Getting the correct setup for this on a Cisco switch can be quite tricky (I have an SG300). It is also advisable to use IGMP v2 rather than IGMP v3 if you have a Mac on the network. Can you try disabling IGMP snooping completely to see if this solves the problem?
