LS-WTGL and HD_LAN on Vista x64 (SP2)

[dwardio]

   

I have two NAS models (details below) which have been working fine for over 6 months with the following PCs: 2 running Windows XP Pro, 1 running Vista Home Premium (x32), and 1 running Vista Ultimate (x32).  I never had a single problem with either NAS under this setup (wired/wireless via Belkin 55g router).

 

Last week I added a new PC running Vista Home Premium (x64) and didn't have any problems until I replaced its OS with Vista Ultimate (x64), via a clean install.   It immediately began having the classic Vista "Preparing to copy" bug, and I took the following steps to resolve it:

 

1) Uninstalled Norton NIS2009 

2) Installed SP1 and SP2 for Vista x64 

3) Set the NIC speed to "Auto Negotiate" 

 

I can now mount shares from both drives, but I'm still having a major problem-- when the unit is dormant, the NIC goes into a low-power mode.  When it "wakes up," I can't see the LS-WTGL mount (even using NAS Nav2) until I "Diagnose and Repair" the connection or manually reset the NIC.  The HD_LAN remains visible the whole time, though.  I've applied all available network driver updates.

 

What should I do next? 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!
