Twonky Server on Linux disappearing from Horizon Box

    I downloaded Twonky Server for Linux from the UPC website and installed it on my linux desktop. It successfully installed and scanned all my media files.

    I then went to my horizon box and went through the "Setup Home Network" menu item. I selected Join Network (I am still using the UPC router rather than the Horizon box as the router). The process completes successfully and immediately afterwards I can see the Twonky Server showing up under My Devices. However, after some time passes (an hour or so) if I return to My Devices the Twonky Server no longer shows up and it never returns. If I repeat the whole "Setup Home Network" process it returns but again will always disappear after a while. I have tried both with and without selecting to create a media catalogue in the "Setup Home Network" process.

    Any idea why my Twonky Server is disappearing?

    Note: My linux desktop with Twonky Server is connected by wired ethernet directly to the UPC router and the horizon box connect to the router via WiFi.

    I can't see any issues with Twonky on my linux PC. At least, it's running and I can always access its web UI. I will look at its logs tonight to see if there's anything there. Also, I have installed Twonky Mobile on my phone and it can always see the linux Twonky Server so I guess it must be okay.
