I could try to amend the network to include a DNS but I'd rather not to. I know it sounds nonsense to you but this is a multimedia server used on a critical setup. I'd rather not touch anything that does not need to be touched to avoid problems with the media files. Network is part of a crucial and quite delicate secure data transfer and if the manufacturer decided not to include the DNS during network configuration there may be a reason. > > And this is caused by a bad system clock?
