My UnPn players cannot discover Twonkyserver on Qnap

Hi. My TwonkyServer (6.0.39) is up and running, but the PlugPlayer UnPn clients on my iPad and iPhone can not discover it although they are on the same LAN. The clients sometimes show up on the Media Receivers list, and disappear when I hit "Reset List".
I have started having this problem after the firmware upgrade of my QNAP.
Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance;
Aydin

What model qnap?
What version was on there before?
did the newer firmware come with 6.0.39 or did you install it or downgrade to it?
Im not the qnap expert but...
If it was working before the upgrade, its likely not you router/network, which it could be
I suspect its a qnap network setting that's different in the new firmware, possible firewall on it?
There isn't much on the twonky server to do in this scenario
can you get to the web interface of the server? (if its on port 9000)

Thank you for the response.
The QNAP model is 219P. It was running 3.0 and has been upgraded to 4.1.
I do not know the previous version of the Twonky server. I am running the sw which comes within the QNAP package.
The Twonky server is up and running. I can access it through its web interface, it seems to work fine.
The network seems to be OK. I am able to access my music through QNAP supplied apps from the same ios clients which can not access Twonky.
As a result of all this, I think it may be a configuration issue where I have not activated something I needed to activate, etc.

It's possible the Qnap apps are not using DLNA to connect to the nas,
Does trying this free ios app work?
Media Link Player Lite
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/media-l ... 55652?mt=8
Do you have any other dlna clients to check connectivity with
Maybe a PS3,Xbox,TV,etc.
Is the wireless accesspoint built into the router, or is it standalone and connected to it?
What make and model of router and wifi are you using?

The QNAP app is not DLNA.
Media link can not discover Twonky either.

sounds like a network issue on the qnap or the actual network
in that something is blocking the upnp/dlna broadcasts from the twonky server
