Many many thanks Danco and BPA - there at last (and I've learned along the way).
I reset the QNAP to assigning IP addresses automatically, via a new install. Brilliant, that gave me connectivity downstream again. But no internet access. However still no entries in My Network Places or My Computer etc. That said whenever I tried to access the QNAP it kept searching for an IP address of 192.168.2.4 when 192.168.2.6 had been automatically assigned. So disconnected the Mapped network Drive and re-connected it, this time specifying the 192.168.2.6 address rather than a folder name (remember that no NAS workgroup appeared under My Network Places). Voila - FLAC, Alien BBC, Internet Radio and access to the mapped drive ! Still don't wholly understand all the ins and outs but very happy now. I think this is the real weakness of the SB3 and Slimserver - if it all works following a straightforward install it's brilliant. But when something goes wrong the manuals aren't sufficient and one is thrust onto the kind folks in the Forum. Trouble is that for mere mortals like me, things can get quite technical very quickly. So who fancies writing the Ladybird guide to Slimserver ???
