PS3 fails to see DLNA without ReadyNAS reboot

In order to use it I jump into frontview and rescan or restart the service - clearly not desirable. If it's as simple as reducing the advertising interval, that seems like a no brainer. So for you, the Search for Media Servers button on PS3 doesn't help? The advertising interval is not the actual problem. The problem has to come from the M-SEARCH requests from the client not making it to the ReadyNAS. If we had an environment where we could see this behavior, that would be helpful. But every environment that I have access to works perfectly, with several different media players. Have you tried putting the PS3 and ReadyNAS on the same switch, to see if there's something along the way that is causing the issue?

I have had 2 PS3s and have had the same behavior on both - searching on them does nothing...have to tweak readynas to get it to show up. Again, my other servers are consistently in my list and also a "switch hop" away as well. I could put them on the same switch, but I don't see why that would matter. I'm very knowledgeable about networking, so enlighten me if you have ideas of why that might change things.
