DS920 disappears (sort of)

I know the title is confusing so I'll start from 5the beginning. Before I had a Synology I used a network attached GoFlex hard drive which I used to backup my system among other thing. Like the synology I had it setup to be accessible through windows explorer. Everything was great. every now and then the drive would vanish form Explorer but I could get to it from the web ui

My Synology is doing the same thing and it's very annoying. Is there a way to fix this or is it a Windows problem. Yes, SMB is enabled. Thank you

Looks like an SMB problem for sure. Can you share your SMB Syno settings? Also, can you confirm that your NAS has a network presence even when you can't reach it from the Win Explorer view?

This could well be the well documented windows network issue. If you search a bit microsoft forum, you are likely to find solutions for it.
start with synology:

Here's an update. First and foremost, SMB is back and working constantly. Also Hibernation is also working. What I did was to Reinstall DSM 7 and my apps. I'm gathering when I updated from 6. to 7 it was a bad install. All I know is every thing is working. TIA
