There are lots of error messages when the music stops. I attach a log file.

This log shows that the PC running MinimServer lost contact with the NAS containing the music library at about 10:03:22. Because of this, MinimServer was unable to read audio data from the NAS and stream it to the renderer. Because the renderer was not receiving any audio data, it closed the connection at 10:04:28 and then reopened the connection to the server and continued streaming music.

I don't know what caused the PC to lose contact with the NAS. It is possible that you have a faulty Ethernet cable between the router and either the PC or the NAS. Another possibility is a faulty HDD in the NAS. Does the NAS system log show any error messages? Have you ever had any other problems or noticed a similar stop/start when copying files between the PC and the NAS in either direction?

Hello,
I ran an extensive test on the NAS and it checks out fine. I do daily backups to the NAS from the PC and have no problems. There cannot be an issue between the router and NAS since I have no issues running the embedded Twonky server. I tried switching to a WiFi connection between PC and router and although I have the distinct impression that there were fewer failures I still had some interruptions with WiFi. If it is of any help I attach a set of diagrams of what works and what doesn't.
Thanks,
Michael
