I have a HS-DH500GL and because of constant network and drive
activity rarely leave it on. Is this normal? I worry that maybe it
is being accessed or probed from sources outsie my home network. I
don't understand what it is doing with all of my computers in my
network off yet it still shows network and hard drive activity
activity. Is there any way to get it to sleep when it is not being
used?

Probed from outside your LAN? You /do/ have a router and are not just
plugging the ISP feed into a hub? Get thee to www.grc.com and use
ShieldsUP. Once you are "stealth" the activity seen by your linksys is
from your LAN.

My linksys stays on a lot. I think it is a combination of "when to
sleep" time and network activity.

Network activity.... when you map a drive letter to the linksys Windows
is going to ping it once in a while while your PC is in use.

When all the PC's go to sleep, the linksys does, too.

You can try un-mapping to the linksys... it should still appear in
Explorer in Network Places. yeah, I'm still using XP.
