Running version : 2.01.86 firmware.
After my WDTV Live media player is idle for a while it disconnects from my home network share. I do NOT have sleep mode turned on on the WDTV Live unit nor my Windows 7 SP1 PC. I don’t have this problem with my Zinwell media player. It can sit idle for weeks at a time and it never disconnects from my PC network…
My work around is to leave my WDTV Live player sitting on a DVD menu. Doing that seems to prevent the unit from losing it’s network connection. I think this is a easy thing for WD to fix. Not sure why they haven’t. It’s a major bug. I just bought this unit on Amazon. Wish I had known about all the problems thjis unit has before I bought it.
