I performed the steps you asked for. I attached the log file. Note: I inserted marks embedded in === at the places where I did something or where the visible status of MinimWatch changed.

Thanks for this log. Unfortunately it seems that it was not produced with the MinimWatch ohnet.debug property set to All (see step 2 of my last post). The debug information from ohNet is required for me to see what is happening.
To add this setting, select Options > Properties (watch), set the ohnet.debug property to All and click OK. After this, please run the complete test again.

My apologies. To see the ohNet messages, it is necessary to copy the minimwatch.log file from the ~/Library/MinimWatch folder. These messages don't appear in the MinimWatch log window. I should have explained this in my earlier post.

OK, I still have the log and attach it here (truncated, so it has the same time range as my first log file).

Thanks for this. When you do the refresh, MinimWatch sends a multicast M-SEARCH message to all devices. No response is received, so MinimWatch assumes that MinimServer is no longer running.
Later, MinimServer sends an "alive" multicast message and MinimWatch reinstates the white icon.
This shows that your network is handling "alive" multicast messages correctly but it is either blocking M-SEARCH messages sent by MinimWatch or it is blocking the responses to these messages sent by MinimServer. To find out which of these it is, I will need to see a similar log produced on the server side while the refresh is happening.

Thank you very much for helping me with this problem! Excellent support.
Here the log of the MinimServer with first a Refresh and then a Rescan performed from MinimWatch:

Thanks for this log. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain the ohNet messages. Was this log saved from the log window? To see the ohNet messages, it is necessary to copy the minimserver.log file from the ~/Library/MinimServer folder.

I don't know why it does not contain the ohNet messages. I did set ohnet.debug to All on the system pane of minimserver properties and I did copy the the minimserver.log file from the ~/Library/MinimServer folder. Maybe it is because I did not exit from MinimServer and restarted if anew. So I did that now.
Find attached the minimserver.log file. It contains the complete log from start of minimserver, the refresh from minimwatch, tray icon of minimwatch becoming grey and tray icon becoming white again.

Thanks for this. It does contain the ohNet messages and it shows that the M-SEARCH multicast messages sent by MinimWatch are not being received by MinimServer. Is there a firewall or antivirus software on the Mac mini that could be blocking these messages?
RE: Often Linn Kazoo cannot see MinimServer - vilmos - 19-03-2021 15:02
No, there is no firewall activated or antivirus software installed, neither on the minimserver nor on the minimwatch machine.
