The homehub is the latest one from BT, I can't see any settings that you mention. All my equipment is connected to a Netgear switch. I have always used a switch with my Sneaky. What is strange, is that everything worked fine for over a year, but this problem only occurred in last few months. Cheers.

As a test, can you try running Kinsky on a PC or Mac with a wired connection to your switch? Does this find MinimServer consistently and quickly?

Unfortunately I no longer have a Windows PC in the house Simon. Since my windows laptop packed in a few months ago, I only have an iPad and an old laptop running Linux (Ubuntu). The Linux laptop is wired to the switch but as of yet I have not installed Minimwatch to it as it looks a bit complicated. I did try to install java but could not get it to work. What I have done today is restart Minimserver on the NAS and it has appeared in Kinsky. One thing I have noticed is that whenever I start Kinsky and go to the library's, the ReadyNAS Media server appears instantly and Minimserver pops up a few seconds later or not at all as is the reason for the post. I would prefer to have the ReadyNAS media server disabled but I do need it for videos to my WDlive box.

All seems well at the moment and I will report back if it disappears again. Thanks for your help so far.

Bill.
