hahaha...making me look bad, with my crummy 'text-only' wiki instructions for Synology!
 Just teasing...this is great! Thanks for putting it up there. Now all's we need is a few people using other NAS's to chip in too, and there won't be any more excuse for NFS problems from a NAS 
- ATV2 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1) build 9A406a, running Frodo (final version) - Macbook Pro, running OSX Mountain Lion - Skin: reFocus - Connecting to MySQL database on Synology DS411+ NAS via NFS. |

I guess this requires static IP for all devices requiring access. Is it possible to specify the whole range in the LAN e.g. 192.168.1.0 to 255 to avoid this? |

I did try an IP Range on the old firmware but didn't have much success. When I get time I'll test again and update the wiki if required. Although I prefer to specify each IP as it prevents a guest on your network from messing with your QNAP files.... |

This has enabled NFS from ATV but I've lost SMB access to the QNAP (from ATV and my local network).
Any ideas? |

Have you made sure "Microsoft Networking" under Network services is still selected on in the QNAP admin? What happens when you try to access SMB shares on the QNAP? Is it still advertised under Bonjour in "Network Service Discovery" on the QNAP? |

A reboot of the NAS seems to have fixed it. Very odd!
