At least the NAS works okay with the PCs. That's the main reason for it being there in the first place - so that I can keep central copies of all my work.
Bit O/T - I know you said copies but don't rely on the NAS as a backup for anything important!

Nope... I would have 2 NAS systems and all important stuff goes on the Cloud.

I'm ahead of you there. smile Everything lives on my central PC and is backed up to the NAS and two or three other HDDs, depending on how much I want to keep it. I'm just thinking of installing a second NAS, but I'm going to make a final decision during the break. I haven't really thought of cloud storage, I still don't trust it enough. Might buy some extra space from TSOhost and store vital stuff there though.

I like data storage. hehe

Update: I've sorted it! bounce

It still won't stream video via the Blu-Ray, but it streams via the TV, the iPad, my phone... So that'll do for me. Thank you for all your help, I now know a lot more about how these things work! smile
