Thanks for your input.
The MTU thing does have me a bit puzzled. I notice that my router has the MTU set at 1492, and I cannot raise it higher than that. My understanding is that because my ADSL connection is PPPoE there's a need for an 8 byte header, hence the router maxes at 1492.
The ReadyNAS Duo is set at 1492 also, as that seems to give the better performance. However it seems the NV+ is set at 1500, and it's not easy to change that. Would that potentially be the cause of some of the problem here? And if so, what can I do about it - 5.3.8 doesn't provide an obvious was to reset the MTU (unlike 4.1.12), and I'm a bit wary of messing with it via SSH.
Appreciate your thoughts and advice.
