RE: Can't find Minimserver running on Windows
No, I'm using latest version of Win 10 as it happens.

I've upgraded to 8.5.2 (I was on 8.4; hadn't seen there's an upgrade available).

Turned off antivirus and firewall (both Windows Defender) - no joy

Removed the ohnet subnet definition - Minimserver seems to work OK but hasn't actually fixed my problem.

The scan of files and folders all works fine and fast, and I get to the Green logo with ease; however I still can't seem to find the device on the local network.

Scratching my head a bit here.

Checked to make sure both the phone and the server are indeed on the same subnet; both are still on 192.168.72.0. I can see MinimServer offered as a service on my computer (it shows under 'Network Locations') and applications like MediaMonkey can see and browse the server directly on my PC. It looks as though it's some sort of firewall problem but even taking the firewall down completely doesn't give any joy.

Further update: I happened to go round to a friend’s house and tried to see if MinimServer would be visible on his network. It is, so I think the problem lies with network config in my apartment block. Will try to address with landlord and see if I can sort out the router settings.
