The NAS is connected to the Port with an ethernet cable, which I have assumed is bidirectional. Before having my cds ripped I used jukeboxes connected to the port with audio cables, which worked fine. The NAS, which was selected and populated by Music Shifters, is a Buffalo link station ls210d. Hope this sparks more ideas. Thanks, lynncat

Hi @lynncat, @Stanley_4 is spot on: connecting your NAS to your Sonos Port via Ethernet cable between the two of them is a non-starter. Both NAS and Port need a connection (wired Ethernet or wireless Wi-Fi) to your router. Let’s take them one a time.

Connecting your NAS to your router via Ethernet cable is a great idea to ensure the best connectivity.
Your Port should be happy with either an Ethernet cable to your router or a Wi-Fi connection.

Thanks! It’s a QNAP Turbo NAS TS-253A-8G. All my music is on it, not on the pc.

Problem is, as instructed on the Sonos link, I go into Settings, Manage, add new folder and enter the NAS address, my user name and password but everything stays greyed out.

Hi @Tom4103, double-check that you using forward slashes when you enter the folder name:

//NAS_Name/Share_Name
