I have the same problem, but I don't think it's a Vista problem, as it
happened when the same external drive was installed on a different computer
running XP SP3. Then and now on Vista I have to check it before each backup,
and probably three times out of four have to reestablish the sharing
parameters. A little annoying, but no big deal.
