This problem of Minimserver crashing hasn't gone away, sad to report. I've resolved some of my problems via the ReadyNAS forums (e.g. the reason I couldn't get into my NAS was because of a compatability error between ReadyNAS frontview and IE10).

But I've been running the last couple of weeks on just the wired NIC and I am still suffering this problem of Minimserver being unavailable and needing restarting. It happens pretty much every day.

Behaviour:

- Minimwatch can't see Minimserver (greyed out), and can't restart it as a result
- Control points can't see the Minimserver either, regardless of whether they are PCs, iPads, iPhones etc
- Can log on to the ReadyNAS, and Minimserver is showing there as a running application
- My streamers can still obtain their music from Minimserver.
- I can resolve the behaviour by stopping the Minimserver service on the ReadyNAS, and then starting it again.

Really, it's the second type of problem I identified in an earlier post, but I have at least now found a way to get into the ReadyNAS to restart the Minimserver service.

This is likely to be caused by the router doing IGMP snooping and removing the ReadyNAS from its multicast group because it doesn't receive a response. Is there a setting in the router to disable IGMP snooping, or a setting to enable UPnP support? You could try searching the router user manual for IGMP and UPnP and see what you find.

OK, I don't see a setting to disable IGMP snooping, but I did turn UPNP off a little while ago. I'll re-enable it and see if that fixes things.

Cheers, R
